Bitcoin jumps
Bitcoin jumped to its highest price in more than two months on Thursday, as traders bet on a U.S. inflation cooldown and digested news of a massive crypto asset find. Bitcoin surged 8.4%, rising above $19,000 for the first time since November 8th. This was accompanied by source data showing that consumer prices had declined 0.1% monthly, while still increasing 6.5% year-over-year – far lower than a 9.1% peak rate in June. Investors are now hoping that this retreat may lead the Federal Reserve to pursue more accommodative policies, resulting in Bitcoin’s growth spurt.
