Bitcoin falls as U.S. April PCE inflation dims rate-cut hopes

U.S. April personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation rose 3.8 percent from a year earlier, the highest since May 2023. Bitcoin weakened after the data, slipping to around $73,300 and down 2.89 percent over 24 hours to about $73,404. Core PCE rose 3.3 percent year-on-year, also matching forecasts. Markets focused on the likelihood of rates staying high longer, with CME FedWatch pricing a 98.9 percent chance of no change in June.
