Eurozone inflation data for December came out as expected. The consumer price index rose 0.2% month-over-month, remaining in line with the previous reading and within market expectations.

This type of macroeconomic data may seem technical, but it moves billions. European inflation data directly influences ECB interest rate decisions, which in turn affect the entire digital asset market. When inflation comes out as expected (ne neither above nor below), it generally reduces immediate market volatility.

The stability in CPI data suggests that inflationary pressures remain under control in the region. For crypto traders, this means less likelihood of sudden political surprises in the coming days.
