Macro Economy Market: Fed Rate Hike Seemed Certain After August Inflation Data
The article discusses the market outlook for the week of September 14-18, 2026, following the release of August CPI data showing 3.4% annual inflation, which is well above the Fed's 2% target. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is expected to deliver a quarter-point rate hike at the upcoming FOMC meeting to maintain credibility. Oil prices surged above $100 per barrel due to U.S.-Iran hostilities, driving up yields, with the 10-year Treasury yield near 5%. Investor sentiment is mixed, with some seeing potential relief if inflation improves or Middle East tensions resolve, while others fear further hikes. Fed funds futures indicate a nearly 50% chance of rates reaching 4%-4.25% by December, implying two more hikes. The article also includes a calendar of upcoming economic data releases.
