Recent hotter-than-expected August CPI data, showing inflation holding at 3.4% year-over-year with persistent core pressures, combined with a strong August jobs report of 162,000 nonfarm payrolls, have sharply elevated trader expectations for a 25 basis point federal funds rate increase at the September 15-16 FOMC meeting. Elevated energy costs tied to Middle East supply disruptions have kept price pressures above the Fed’s 2% target, prompting hawkish signals from Chair Kevin Warsh and aligning market pricing with the current 79.5% consensus for a modest hike. A smaller share of traders continue to price in a hold, citing the proximity of U.S. midterms and the possibility of moderating data before the decision. Larger moves in either direction remain remote given the recent trajectory of incoming indicators.
