How Will US Inflation Data Impact the September Fed Meeting?


Recommended Posts

ANALYST CHAT TALKING POINTS:

  • US inflation rates aren’t coming down as fast as anticipated.
  • Markets are now fully pricing in a 75-bps rate hike at the September Federal Reserve meeting.
  • US stocks have sank rapidly, while the US Dollar has clawed back nearly all of its recent losses.

 

 

 

The August US CPI report had a significant impact on financial markets on Tuesday – the US Dollar soared, gold prices slumped, and US stocks sank rapidly.

Headline US inflation increased +0.1% m/m and +8.3% y/y, topping forecasts of no gain m/m and an +8.1% y/y increase. The core reading was hotter than expected as well, coming in at +0.6% m/m versus a forecast of +0.3%, and the y/y was at +6.3% versus +6.1% expected.

Markets are now discounting a 100% chance of a 75-bps rate hike by the Federal Reserve next week. There is also a 20% chance of a 100-bps rate hike. This is a significant increase from a month ago, when there was less than a 50% chance of a 75-bps rate hike and a 0% chance of a 100-bps rate hike.

What does the August US inflation report mean for the September Federal Reserve rate decision? Senior Strategists James Stanley and Christopher Vecchio, CFA discuss in this Tuesday’s DailyFX Analyst Chat.

    • I have recently researched cryptocurrency exchange tokens with good potential that would be a profitable investment for the upcoming bull market. This is what I found so far. 1. Binance's token BNB, BNB is the biggest exchange token and has done well over the years. However, its performance this year has not been great and it currently trades at over $200. 2. OKX's token, OKB, is trading at over $40 and has performed very well in 2023. It may be a good addition to our portfolio for the upcoming bull market. 3. Bitget's token, BGB. The BGB daily chart looks fascinating and it currently trades around $0.40. Based on the exchange's growth in 2023, BGB seems to be the most promising exchange token I have researched. I will continue to research other exchange tokens, but for now, I would like to know your thoughts on these tokens.
    • If you have been into cryptocurrency over the time, you'd have noticed it has faced a lot of ups and downs, from several crackdowns to adoptions, ranging from China's ban, to El Salvador's adoption, including Tesla's adoption and others, and it looks as though in an ever developing world of technology, adoption seems to be the resolution for advancing companies and now we have another adoption, Honda Motor Co. Honda Motor Co., a well-known Japanese automaker, has made a surprising decision to accept digital assets as payment for its goods. By collaborating with the blockchain payment platform FCF Pay, Honda now makes it possible for clients to lease or buy their cars and power equipment using different cryptocurrencies, including XRP and the most popular doge token, Shiba Inu (SHIB). This partnership increases the possibilities accessible to customers who may now purchase Honda's cars, motorbikes, and power equipment using digital currencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), Polkadot (DOT), and other well-known cryptocurrencies in addition to XRP and Shiba Inu (SHIB) rather than conventional cash. The unique feature of Honda's offering is that it accepts a variety of more uncommon meme-inspired coins, such as Pepe Coin (PEPE), Floki Inu (FLOKI), Bone ShibaSwap (BONE), and Doge Killer (LEASH). Connecting the dots of various happenings in the crypto space and sudden adoption by various companies and even some economies, where do you see cryptocurrency in the coming years and what steps are you taking in preparation for it?
