Recent data suggests that inflation in the US may be on the rise again. According to new data, the Producer Price Index (PPI) rose to levels not seen in 15 years. If inflation starts to rise again, it could impact various financial markets, including cryptocurrencies.
The #core Producer Price Index (PPI) jumped to 5.0% in June, the highest level since 2022. This is a sharp increase, more than doubling in just six months. This inflation rate is higher than at any time in the past 15 years, except for the sharp increases seen in 2021 and 2022.

It is also higher than at any time in the past 15 years, except for 2021 and 2022.
Overall, core PPI inflation was 3.0% in June, reflecting a steady upward trend in four of the past five months. This increase indicates that inflationary pressures remain strong, even though several other inflation indicators are showing declines.
the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which reflects inflation at the consumer level, declined, while the core price index continues to rise. On the other hand, this difference indicates ongoing inflationary risks that need to be addressed.
the rise in the core price index could have several implications for the #cryptocurrency market.
