December inflation data released, overall more optimistic than expected, but only "slightly optimistic." Nominal annual inflation rate of 2.7% and monthly rate of 0.3% both meet expectations, remaining unchanged and sticky; core inflation annual rate of 2.6% and monthly rate of 0.2% are below expectations, with inflation easing after excluding food and energy.
This data indicates that inflationary pressures mainly come from energy and food, while other areas are more optimistic. The optimistic trend is reflected in both goods and services sectors, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics website is inaccessible, so specific data cannot be viewed.
December data has little impact on future interest rates, primarily providing buffer space for Q1. The market will define inflation expectations based on energy prices in Q1. Currently, sentiment is naturally turning optimistic, but this optimism is cautious, and how long it can last is uncertain. Because Q1 faces many issues, key concerns include the impact of tariffs on commodity inflation and how significantly the re-pricing of services affects service sector inflation. $XRP $BNB $SOL
