\nBitcoin\u2019s Price Jumps Above $85,000 on Lighter-Than-Expected Inflation Data<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s price<\/a> rose \u2014 albeit slightly \u2014 on data Wednesday showing that inflation had risen slower than expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Fed\u2019s main inflation gauge, the personal consumption expenditures price index, increased<\/a> in August by 3.4% on headline and 3% for core \u2014 both well below estimates.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s price recently stood at $84,246 after jumping as high as $85,518 at one point Wednesday morning in New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The news means the Federal Reserve is less likely to hike interest rates in October. High inflation is causing the U.S. central bank to take a more hawkish approach to managing monetary policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his first speech since he became Fed chair, Kevin Warsh in August said the U.S. central bank had \u201cmore work to do\u201d to fight inflation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then, in September, the bank raised<\/a> interest rates. \u201cThe plain fact is that inflation is too high, and has been for too long,\u201d Warsh said at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, bitcoin\u2019s price appeared to shrug off the move and had a good run in the week following the central bank\u2019s move.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The coin surged as high as $87,158 earlier this month. Some analysts have said that investors are shrugging off the move as they don\u2019t expect the Fed to change policy and start hiking rates successively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin has rallied since the U.S. Treasury announced<\/a> plans to more than double the size of its government debt repurchases. <\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s price has in the past performed well in a low interest rate environment, along with other \u201crisk-on\u201d assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly put pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, Trump threatened to fire ex-Fed Chair Jerome Powell and said he did a \u201cbad job\u201d for not lowering interest rates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
