US PPI inflation fell 0.3% in June, the first monthly decline since August 2025. Bitcoin (BTC) reclaimed $65,000 and Ethereum (ETH) topped $1,900 as traders cut bets on a July Fed rate hike.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The producer data landed one day after consumer inflation also missed forecasts. Together, the two reports have shifted market expectations decisively against further Federal Reserve tightening this month.<\/p>\n

PPI Inflation Reinforces the Disinflation Trend<\/h2>\n

Bureau of Labor Statistics data<\/a> showed headline PPI at 5.5% year-over-year, below the 6.2% consensus. Core PPI eased to 4.7% against a 5.2% forecast. May’s monthly rise was also revised down from 1.1% to 0.6%.<\/p>\n

The 0.3% monthly drop was the sharpest since April 2025. Only a month ago, annual PPI stood at 6.5%, its highest level since December 2022.<\/p>\n

Energy drove most of the relief. Gasoline prices fell 12%, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the 1.4% slide in final demand goods.<\/p>\n

Even after that drop, gasoline remains nearly 43% higher than a year earlier. Services held firmer, with trade margins up 0.4%.<\/p>\n

The print builds on the CPI surprise<\/a> a day earlier, when consumer inflation cooled faster than economists anticipated. Both reports strengthen the case for lower Treasury yields, supporting equities and digital assets alike.<\/p>\n

Fed Hike Odds Collapse as Crypto Rallies<\/h2>\n

CME FedWatch data now shows an 87.7% probability that the Fed holds rates at 3.50% to 3.75% on July 29. Hike odds dropped to 12.3%.<\/p>\n

The repricing came fast. Markets saw a 31% chance of a hike just one week ago, before consecutive soft inflation reports flipped the positioning.<\/p>\n

The central bank held rates steady<\/a> at Chair Kevin Warsh’s first meeting in June, flagging inflation risks from artificial intelligence spending.<\/p>\n

Warsh struck a harder tone in congressional testimony a day before the release, saying the central bank has<\/p>\n

Bitcoin traded near $65,256<\/a> after the release, up 2.5% in 24 hours. Ethereum gained 3.6% to $1,930, its first move above $1,900 since early June.<\/p>\n

The rebound liquidated nearly $100 million in crypto shorts within 30 minutes. A similar short squeeze fueled Bitcoin’s recovery in early July, when weak jobs data drove BTC to the $62,000 area.<\/p>\n

Still, the relief may prove fragile. Gasoline drove much of June’s decline, and oil has pushed above $85<\/a> after President Donald Trump announced a Strait of Hormuz blockade on Monday.<\/p>\n

The waterway carries about one-fifth of the world’s oil. A hotter energy print could stall the disinflation story as soon as next month.<\/p>\n

The next test for BTC sits at the $66,000 resistance zone<\/a> that has capped gains since mid-June.<\/p>\n
