The latest CPI data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics last night showed that the consumer index growth rate fell to 2.5% in August, lower than the expected 2.6% and lower than 2.9% in July. While in line with expectations, it was also the fifth consecutive month of slowdown, the lowest level since March 2021.
 
The core CPI in August, which excludes food and energy prices, increased by 3.2% year-on-year, the same as expected and the previous value, but the core CPI month-on-month comparison was slightly higher than expected, at 0.3%, pushing the core CPI month-on-month data slightly beyond expectations, reducing the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates by two basis points this year. After the CPI data was released, the market believed that the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates by one basis point this month had risen from 66% yesterday to 85%, and the probability of a two basis point cut was reduced to 15%.
