The highly anticipated February CPI report was released this morning, showing slightly higher than expected readings. Core CPI came in at 3.8% YoY vs. 3.7% expected and 0.4% MoM vs. 0.3% expected. Over 60% of the total monthly increase can be attributed to shelter and energy prices. Investors were prepared for worse, as the odds of a June rate cut increased slightly following the data release, helping to spur a bounce back in equity indices, with the SPY and QQQ gaining approximately 1%. Crypto markets are declining today, with total market capitalization falling by 3.19%. BTC has declined 3.36% to $69.6k and ETH has decreased 4.03% to $3.9k. Despite the declines, there are still some altcoins outperforming including INJ, AVAX, and TIA, which have gained 12.86%, 10.06%, and 4.14%, respectively. MapleStory, a large web2 gaming studio, announced yesterday their plans to launch an Avalanche Subnet to bring their creations to the Web3 world, helping AVAX reach $53, its highest level since May 2022.
