Rising Treasury Yields, Inflation Trajectory, Fed Rate Flashing Red And What It Means
CICC: Sticky inflation supports rate hikes; watch for hawkish signals
In August, the U.S. CPI rose 0.4% month-on-month on a seasonally adjusted basis (versus 0.1% the previous month) and 3.4% year-on-year (unchanged from the prior month). Core CPI increased 0.3% month-on-month (up from 0.2% in the prior month) and 2.4% year-on-year (down slightly from 2.5% the previous month), marginally above market expectations. The month-on-month rebound in inflation was driven primarily by higher energy prices, telecom rate hikes, and persistent inflationary pressures stemming from artificial intelligence. We believe this CPI report has already met the Federal Reserve's threshold for raising interest rates, and we therefore expect the Fed to hike rates by 25 basis points at its September 16 meeting.
