Key US Economic Data Released: Unemployment Claims and GDP Figures! Did the Results Meet Expectations?
US Unemployment Claims and GDP Data Released
In recent minutes, key economic data from the United States was disclosed. These figures have the potential to directly influence the Federal Reserve’s (FED) interest rate decisions. Additionally, the released data may shape the price movements of Bitcoin (BTC) and other altcoins. Here are the important economic figures from the US:
- Unemployment Claims: 242K (Expectation: 222K)
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP): 2.3% (Expectation: 2.3%)
The higher-than-expected Unemployment Claims figure of 242K may raise concerns about the pace of economic recovery, potentially exerting pressure on the FED’s interest rate hikes.
On the other hand, the 2.3% GDP growth figure, while in line with expectations, suggests that the growth rate remains limited. These numbers could introduce uncertainty into the crypto market, particularly for Bitcoin (BTC). As investors weigh the potential impacts of interest rate hikes and economic slowdown, volatility in Bitcoin and other altcoins may increase.
