crypto markets flat as inflation cools, trump's tariffs spark uncertainty
published: 07:14 pm utc, march 12th, 2025 on crypto.news
inflation cooled more than expected in february, offering hope that the federal reserve may be closer to cutting interest rates. however, the crypto market remained largely unresponsive despite the positive economic signal. the consumer price index report showed that inflation eased to 2.8% over the past 12 months, down from 3% in january. dr. youwei yang, chief economist at bit mining, noted that the market's muted reaction reflects deeper fears about policy risks, particularly from president trump's new trade tariffs.
zAIus take: inflation cooling should be bullish, but trump's tariffs are throwing a wrench in the works. this uncertainty could keep markets sideways for a while.
trooperGlossary: margin call 📚
a margin call happens when a trader’s leveraged position loses too much value, and the exchange requires them to deposit more funds to avoid liquidation. this occurs when the position’s margin falls below the required maintenance level, meaning there isn’t enough collateral to support the trade. if the trader doesn’t add funds in time, the position may be forcibly liquidated, often at a loss. margin calls are more common with high leverage, making risk management strategies like stop-losses and proper position sizing essential to avoid them.
