Overview

Bitcoin and Ethereum surged following the release of US inflation data for March, which showed a 3.3% year-on-year increase but a core CPI rise of only 0.2%, less than expected. This softer inflation reading, despite a sharp rise in energy costs driven by the Iran conflict, sparked cautious optimism among traders.
