Fed Rate Cut Expectations in Focus

Following the release of CPI data, market participants remain highly attentive to the Fed's potential rate cut trajectory. Although the CPI figures may have diluted expectations for a November rate cut, Friday’s PPI data showed inflation easing and holding steady month-on-month. This supports speculation that the Fed could proceed with a rate cut next month.

The week starts quietly, with no major U.S. economic releases until Thursday’s retail sales data. If retail sales exceed expectations, it could bolster the U.S. dollar; however, weaker figures might apply downward pressure.

Key Macro Events to Watch:

Monday:

U.S. New York Fed’s 1-year inflation expectations (September).

Tuesday:

Fed Governor Waller discusses the economic outlook, and Daly (FOMC voting member) speaks at NYU Stern School of Business.

Wednesday:

These events will shape market sentiment and provide further insight into economic trends and policy shifts. Investors should stay vigilant, as the data could trigger rapid market reactions and influence key investment strategies.
