U.S. Inflation, Second-Quarter Earnings Reports: Crypto Week Ahead

U.S. inflation data and major bank earnings are set to steer crypto markets in the week ahead, with investors watching for signals on rates and risk appetite. According to CoinDesk, June CPI is due Tuesday and PPI Wednesday; XYO co-founder Markus Levin said softer prints could bolster the case for easier policy, while a hot reading could push out rate-cut bets and potentially send bitcoin below $60,000. Earnings from JPMorgan, Citigroup and Wells Fargo are also in focus, alongside renewed U.S.-Iran tensions and Strait of Hormuz disruption risks.
