According to Stock Talk (@stocktalkweekly), the May 2025 Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data shows PCE year-over-year at 2.1%, slightly below the 2.2% estimate, and month-over-month at 0.1%, matching expectations. Core PCE year-over-year came in at 2.5%, in line with forecasts, while the monthly figure also met expectations at 0.1%. This softer-than-expected headline inflation is viewed by traders as potentially easing Federal Reserve pressure for further interest rate hikes, which could support bullish sentiment in both traditional and cryptocurrency markets. Markets often react positively to inflation data that signals a stable or dovish monetary policy outlook, with Bitcoin and altcoins typically gaining momentum when rate hike risks decline (source: Stock Talk @stocktalkweekly).
