Crypto markets saw another red Monday morning as digital assets erased last week\u2019s gains and returned to their sideways channel.<\/p>\n
The only thing going up at the moment is oil prices, with crypto, commodities, and US stock futures all falling on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump said oil prices \u201cwill drop rapidly\u201d when the \u201cIran nuclear threat is over,\u201d adding that it is a \u201cvery small price to pay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crude oil prices have skyrocketed to $116 per barrel as oil futures opened higher on Sunday evening. This has resulted in major volatility in stock futures and crypto markets, which are falling.<\/p>\n
The Kobeissi Letter described<\/a> it as \u201cone of those days that will be referenced for decades to come,\u201d with oil prices surging 25% on a Sunday, US stock market futures erasing over $2 trillion, and \u201c20 million barrels per day of oil supply offline with no signs of deescalation,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n The week ahead will add to that volatility, starting on Wednesday with February\u2019s CPI (consumer price index) inflation data. There is only one way inflation can go with fuel prices skyrocketing.<\/p>\n The delayed January reading of the Federal Reserve\u2019s preferred inflation gauge, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, is due on Friday, adding fuel to the fire.<\/p>\n The timing is significant ahead of the Fed\u2019s rate-setting meeting on March 18, which has a 95.5% probability of no rate changes, according to CME Group futures markets.<\/p>\n The PCE print is expected to show that prices increased 0.4% month-on-month in January, matching December\u2019s pace, and would be the second consecutive \u201chot\u201d reading.<\/p>\n Key Events This Week:<\/p>\n 1.

The asset remains in the middle of its range-bound channel but is heading for the lower bands.<\/p>\n Ether prices saw similar declines, failing to reclaim $2,000 over the weekend and falling back to $1,960 at the time of writing. The altcoins were mostly flat over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n The post Surging Oil Prices and Inflation Data Will Rattle Crypto Markets This Week<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Crypto markets saw another red Monday morning as digital assets erased last week\u2019s gains and returned to their sideways channel.
