The latest U.S. Retail Sales data has sent a ripple through the markets, coming in flat at 0.0% and missing the forecasted 0.4% growth. This stagnation suggests that high interest rates and persistent inflation are finally cooling consumer appetite, which accounts for over two-thirds of the U.S. economy. While the USD faced immediate pressure and Treasury yields dipped, the crypto market is watching closely; a cooling economy often bolsters the case for the Federal Reserve to pivot toward interest rate cuts sooner rather than later. For Bitcoin and altcoins, "bad news" for the macro economy can often become "good news" if it weakens the dollar and accelerates the shift toward a more dovish monetary policy. Keep a close eye on the upcoming NFP and CPI reports to see if this trend of economic softening continues.
