FED's Interest Rate Decision Spurs Bitcoin Surge Above $106,000



Bitcoin's price soared to over $106,000 in response to the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate announcement. The FED's decision on Wednesday to maintain interest rates followed consecutive rate cuts in the previous two months. This stability comes even though the date of the next potential rate cut remains uncertain into 2025. The PCE data, a crucial inflation gauge for the FED, showed no surprises for December, aligning with expectations. The Core Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index annually remained steady at 2.8%. On a monthly basis, the core index increased slightly, matching the predicted 0.2%. Similarly, the broader Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index showed a yearly rise to 2.6% and a monthly increase to 0.3%. Bitcoin's immediate rise following the news highlights its sensitivity to major economic indicators and FED policy changes.
