The PCE inflation data favored by the Federal Reserve is here. Will interest rates move next week?

Abstract generation in progress

【BitPush】The Fed’s most closely watched inflation indicator, the PCE, performed roughly in line with expectations in November. The specific data is as follows: Core PCE Price Index increased by 0.2% month-over-month and 2.8% year-over-year. However, there is a detail—due to the government shutdown disrupting the data release schedule, these figures actually reflect the situation in November of last year.

This means the real-time reference value of the data is somewhat diminished. Federal Reserve officials are unlikely to place too much weight on this data. The market generally expects that the Fed will likely keep interest rates unchanged at next week’s policy meeting.

For traders, this signals an important message—the inflation remains sticky, but there is no obvious deterioration. This stable macroeconomic outlook is often a key backdrop for whether risk assets like Bitcoin can continue to rise.

stale data, governance breakdown, fed's playing chicken with outdated metrics... this is exactly the kind of systemic vulnerability that exposes how fragile centralized policy really is. meanwhile btc doesn't care about their calendar mishaps lol

The government shutdown has delayed the data, this move is really clever... Chances are next week the interest rates will still stay unchanged, so let's just continue to wait for the wind.

The data from November last year is only being released now, this is too outrageous... The government shutdown caused this, and the Federal Reserve probably has to make decisions based on outdated information. No wonder they are holding steady next week.

Wait, you're only releasing last November's data now? The freshness of this data is concerning, as if the Federal Reserve is just ignoring it... But on the other hand, as long as inflation stabilizes, that's enough; at least there won't be any more aggressive rate hikes. This is good news for on-chain liquidity, and Bitcoin has a chance.

Bro, these data are outdated. Are you still relying on them to influence decisions? The Federal Reserve is likely to hold steady next week, which is good news for the crypto market.
