U.S. February CPI matches forecasts, reinforcing expectations for no near-term rate cuts

This alignment between the actual inflation data and predictions suggests a stable economic environment, indicating that the Federal Reserve is likely to maintain its current monetary policy stance rather than opt for reductions in interest rates in the upcoming months. source: https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/03/11/u-s-february-inflation-data-matches-forecasts-reinforcing-expectations-for-no-near-term-rate-cuts
