MNI US Inflation Insight: Terminal Rate Soars On Twin-Pronged Acceleration

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

  • Core CPI inflation sharply unwound hopes of cooling price pressures with a two-pronged acceleration in goods (limited sign of impact from supply chain easing) and services (both sticky and wage-sensitive alike).
  • The market priced more than 80bps for next week’s FOMC expected hike whilst terminal rate expectations surged more than 30bps above 4.30%. Analysts revised up rate paths for Nov and beyond with a 75bp hike next week seen as locked in, aside from Nomura calling for a 100bp hike.
  • Particularly noteworthy releases of retail sales and U.Mich survey before Sep 21, with attention on media outlets with the FOMC in blackout after a similar situation with WSJ guidance ahead of the June FOMC.
