Markets price in higher Fed hike odds after August CPI rises 0.4%, boosting expectations to 85%
AI Market Summary
A firmer U.S. August CPI print (+0.4% m/m) pushed implied odds of a Fed rate hike sharply higher, reinforcing upward pressure on global yields and tightening financial conditions. Risk assets face a higher discount-rate headwind, while USD support typically strengthens under repriced policy expectations. Brent's pullback does little to offset the inflation narrative, with Middle East tensions still keeping energy risk premia elevated.
