CPI Inflation Report
Wall Street suddenly sees a good chance that the Federal Reserve will suspend its rate hike campaign at next week’s meeting, with the failure of three banks fueling concerns about broader financial sector strains.
This could reduce the recent prominence of the consumer price index, which rose 0.4% in February, in line with expectations. Core CPI rose 0.5% in February, above the estimate of 0.4%. The headline CPI inflation rate reached 6.0%, in line with estimates, with the core inflation rate also reaching estimates at 5.5%.
But almost regardless of the CPI’s result, half-point moves now seem to be out of place. And that’s just a week after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell signaled that policymakers were ready to reaccelerate rate hikes at next week’s meeting from the pace of a quarter of a year. point of February.
Bank failures prompted a rush into bonds and other safe havens, causing Treasury yields to fall sharply and signaling growing doubts about the strength of the economy. Even if the Fed doesn’t take a break next week, markets now seem to be betting that rate cuts are imminent.
On the earnings side, GitLab (GTLB) fell 30% in early trade after the company’s weaker-than-expected revenue forecast.
