Hi,
U.S. inflation ticked up in September, but the Fed is still expected to cut rates next week. The Consumer Price Index report, delayed by the shutdown, showed prices rising modestly and slightly below what economists expected, easing concern that inflation is speeding up. Even with the small increase, the Fed seems more focused on signs the job market is weakening than pushing inflation down further. Another rate cut in December is possible but not guaranteed and will depend on new data. Rates ended the week mixed.
Next week was supposed to be packed with reports and events, but the government shutdown means most of that data won’t come out. There is still one report from the Conference Board on Tuesday that people will watch. But the main event will be the Fed meeting, which wraps up Wednesday afternoon.
