For the rest of the year, there was only a slight change in the market’s expectations of rate hikes or cuts following the CPI release.
Ahead of the CPI inflation release, the market perceived there was a 14 percent chance of a quarter point hike by the Fed on September 20.
After the CPI report, the odds dropped to 11 percent. Similar small changes took place in the November and December oods.
Target Rate Probabilities November 1
The changes for November were only 1 percent or so.
Target Rate Probabilities December 13
For the December meeting, the odds changed from 1 to 2 percent.
The CPI data had almost no impact on market perceptions of rate hikes or cuts by the Fed.
