Analysis: Market expects US December CPI to rise 0.3% month-on-month; if in line with expectations, the Federal Reserve will wait for a clearer trend

According to Odaily, data shows that the market expects the US December CPI to rise by 0.3% month-on-month and 2.7% year-on-year; the core CPI is also expected to increase by 0.3% month-on-month and 2.7% year-on-year. Analysts remind that due to the government shutdown, October data was missing, and some goods and rent prices were artificially suppressed in November, which may lead to a "technical uptick" in December. If the data meets expectations, the Federal Reserve will continue to wait for a clearer trend, especially cleaner readings on rents and goods. If the data is significantly higher than expected, the market may reassess the Federal Reserve's determination and ability to fight inflation, while court rulings, judicial investigations, and employment trends will determine the direction in the coming weeks.
