Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) is trading lower by some 1.6% to $0.00000741 going into the close of U.S. trading Wednesday, according to data from Benzinga Pro. Several altcoins are lower as stocks across sectors rise following a lighter-than-expected June inflation report.
Cryptocurrencies like Shiba Inu are considered high-risk investments due to their inherent volatility and lack of regulatory oversight. When inflation is lower than anticipated, investors may perceive reduced risks and allocate their funds towards less volatile assets. This shift in risk perception can lead to reduced demand for Shiba Inu, affecting its price negatively.
