According to ChainCatcher, citing Jinshi, as core inflation unexpectedly dipped slightly in December, investors rushed to buy US government bonds, causing a sharp drop in US Treasury yields and a sell-off in the US dollar. US core inflation rose 2.6% year-on-year in December, failing to accelerate to the predicted 2.7%. While these inflation indicators are unlikely to change expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged later this month, they may alleviate concerns that accelerating inflation could delay a new round of rate cuts.
