Briefings
In October 2026, US gasoline producer prices surged 20.3% in September, coinciding with a 72.5% probability that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady at its next meeting. This data point suggests inflationary pressure remains elevated despite Bitcoin's decline, though the specific impact of the crypto market on energy costs is not quantified.
