BlackRock warns that the upcoming May U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report may show rising inflation due to increased energy costs linked to Middle East geopolitical tensions. Economists expect inflation to hit 4.2%, the highest since April 2023, which could prompt the Federal Reserve to maintain or raise interest rates. Higher rates typically reduce demand for risk assets like cryptocurrencies, contributing to Bitcoin's recent nearly 14% drop below $60,000. BlackRock also highlights risks from a potential prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which could worsen energy supply disruptions and inflation, increasing market volatility.
