Both bitcoin and ethereum prices surged higher following yesterday's softer-than-expected inflation report, which showed the largest single-month decline in consumer prices since April 2020. Bitcoin's opening price this morning was its highest since June 17, while the price of ethereum opened this morning at levels last seen on June 2. It's not a surprise that energy prices eased in June, as military tensions between the U.S. and Iran eased.
