In January 2024, US core consumer prices, excluding food and energy, rose by 0.4%, surpassing expectations and marking the largest increase since April 2023. This rise, attributed mainly to higher shelter and transportation service costs, challenges the disinflation trend and supports the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) hawkish stance. Despite this, the annual core inflation rate remained at a 2.5-year low of 3.9%. Overall consumer prices also increased by 0.3%, driven by shelter and food, while energy prices fell. February 2024’s inflation rate is projected to stabilize at 3.1%, with a slight expected decrease in core inflation to 3.7%, the lowest since April 2021.
Airdrop to Watch:
BlockGames is replicating Portal’s successful airdrop farming strategy by launching a campaign for its BLOCK token, targeting the crypto gaming community. The campaign encourages users to promote BlockGames on Twitter by linking their accounts through the mobile app and tweeting with specific tags for points, which will later convert to tokens. This method has already generated significant engagement, reminiscent of Portal’s campaign that led to a substantial market cap upon its token launch. The outcome for BlockGames remains to be seen as the crypto community watches closely.
