- The US February 2026 inflation rate is steady at 2.40%.
- Crypto prices remained flat over the last 24 hours.
- The US Dollar got stronger.
The US February 2026 inflation data is out, and the rate has remained flat in comparison to the previous month. Notably, crypto prices also stayed flat and have not reacted to this development as of this moment. Major US stock indexes have plunged, and the US Dollar has made some gains on the sidelines.
US February 2026 Inflation
The rate was 2.40% in January 2026. According to a recent report, the rate has again come out the same to demonstrate the flatness. There have been a few chances, though. For instance, prices of import-based products rose in February. This includes furniture/bedding, fruits/vegetables, and coffee. The surge is on a yearly basis.
Gas prices did come down 5.2% for the year, but then started rising by the end of February. This is somewhat attributed to the anticipation around the commencement of the Iran war. Gas prices were last reported to be $3.50 on March 10, 2026. It roughly translates to a possible higher inflation rate in the next report.
That brings attention to rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve. There is still uncertainty about what officials will do next; however, the central bank is expected to hold the rate still at least in the next meeting.
Flatness in Crypto Prices
Crypto prices have moved little over the last 24 hours. If anything, top tokens like BTC and ETH have declined by 0.78% and 0.27%, respectively. The FGI is still 25 points, and the collective market cap of the segment is hovering around $2.37 trillion. TRX has made gains and is standing out as an exception.
The Tron token is up by 0.97%, and is exchanging hands at $0.2896 when the article is being drafted. Hyperliquid (HYPE) also stands out with a significant uptick of 4.26%. It is now trading at $36.04. The picture of the crypto market, in general, is that of flatness despite the publication of the inflation data.
Major Stock Indexes and USD
All three major US stock indexes have plunged. Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 have been hit by 1%, 0.3%, and 0.5%, applicable in the same order. For a quick reference, US Treasury yields have risen by 7 basis points on the benchmark US 10-year.
The US Dollar has gained amid the rising Middle East conflict. The currency is up by 0.17% against the basket. The USD is now listed at 99.417.
