U.S. inflation data is out.
The latest CPI print landed at 2.7%, exactly in line with forecasts.
While there was no upside surprise, this confirms one key thing: inflation isnât cooling fast enough.
At these levels, price pressures remain stubborn, giving the Federal Reserve little room to accelerate rate cuts. With inflation refusing to fall decisively toward the Fedâs 2% target, monetary policy is likely to stay tight for longer.
âąWhat this means for markets:
âąFewer or delayed rate cuts
âąHigher-for-longer interest rates
âąLiquidity stays constrained
âąRisk assets may face short-term pressure âąunless growth data weakens
°Bottom line:
This CPI reading doesnât ease the Fedâs job. Inflation stability at 2.7% keeps policymakers cautious and reinforces a restrictive policy environment going forward.
