Select what genuinely interests you. Your picks feed directly into our editorial planning. The facts first: US consumer prices rose 0.4 percent in October from the previous month, against expectations of 0.3 percent. The core rate, at 0.3 percent, also came in above the 0.2 percent forecast. Bitcoin gave up another percent after the release at 14:30 German time and fell to around $73,600. Our assessment follows further down. With these numbers, a rate hike by the US Federal Reserve on December 9 is regarded as settled, and the Bitcoin price sits only just above the level that decides the direction this week.
