EconomyCPI and PPI climb, crushing hopes for cheap money and leaving Bitcoin traders with an expensive dilemma

U.S. consumer prices accelerated in August, with CPI up 0.4% from July and 3.4% year over year. Core CPI rose 0.3% monthly, while PPI increased 0.4% monthly and 5.4% annually. Energy drove much of the gains, but faster core inflation may help the Federal Reserve keep policy restrictive, prolonging costly borrowing for Bitcoin investors.
