Institutions: stronger inflation could jeopardise Fed's December rate cut expectations
Higher-than-expected inflation in October will force traders to reassess whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again next month, said Brent Donnelly, president of forex trading firm Spectra Markets. Otherwise, Wednesday's data will be tepid, ‘but the only outcome that could really drive the macroeconomy would be a sharp surprise to the upside,’ Donnelly wrote. ‘That would put a December Fed rate cut in jeopardy and put the starting point for Trump inflation risks even higher.’ Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal expect the data to show the CPI rose 0.2 per cent in October from a year earlier, and the core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, rose 0.3 per cent.
