Stocks and bonds rally after August CPI matches forecasts as September Fed hike odds rise to 82%
AI Market Summary
August U.S. CPI matched expectations (0.4% m/m; 3.4% y/y), but core CPI was firmer (0.3% m/m vs 0.2% expected), keeping inflation "sticky". Markets repriced Fed policy, lifting the implied probability of a September hike to ~82% and shifting focus to forward guidance. The dollar index was broadly flat, while cross-asset moves reflected rate-sensitivity and energy-driven inflation risk.
