As the heat of the Federal Reserve rate hike event decreases, the US government has shifted its economic target towards retail sales. This is because the market has been highly concerned about inflation over the past year, but as prices cool and inflation approaches the target, the focus will shift.
One of the best economic indicators reflecting the health of the US economy is retail sales, which will become the focus of subsequent US transactions. The monthly retail sales in the United States are expected to grow by 0.4%, with a previous value of 0.2%, a year-on-year reading of 1.5%, and a previous value of 1.49%.
The shift of attention from the US government in the economic sector means that the crypto market will temporarily not be affected by the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike policy in the short term. Currently, the problems faced by the entire industry are more concentrated in regulatory aspects.
