It’s been another dull session as we continue to wait for the US CPI release tomorrow. The price action remains rangebound in most markets.
The only notable news was about the China’s finance ministry holding a news conference on Saturday to
provide details on fiscal stimulus measures aimed at reviving the
faltering economy.
We had also some ECB speakers continuing to talk about the October cut which is already fully priced in by the markets. On the geopolitical front, nothing has changed as Israel has not decided yet on the scope and the timing for the retailiation against Iran.
In the American session, there’s no economic data to be released but we will hear from lots of Fed speakers. Finally, we will conclude with the FOMC Meeting Minutes later in the day, but as it’s almost always the case, they won’t matter.

Morgan Stanley expecting slight deceleration in tomorrow’s CPI
Core CPI is projected at 0.26% MM and 3.2% YY
Headline CPI is projected at of 0.09% MM and 2.3 YY
The main components to watch for tomorrow:
-
Housing inflation is expected to soften, with rents anticipated to decelerate, particularly due to adjustments in the Owner’s Equivalent Rent (OER) calculations and seasonal factors.
- Used car prices are expected to accelerate, which will push goods inflation into positive territory.
- Car insurance is expected to continue its downward path, with car insurance expected around 13% YY (versus the prior of 17% YY).
In terms of the possible broader economic and Fed policy impact the bank suggests that the disinflation trend aligns with the Fed’s projections, and along with the solid labor market data should support the forecast of two more 25 basis point cuts in November and December.
