Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
US September CPI rose 0.65% m/m and 3.7% y/y, with core at 2.6% y/y; PPI jumped 1.3% m/m, the largest since March 2022. Chair Warsh gave no hint of an imminent hike, but the house still expects the next move in December.

Key arguments
- US inflation surprised on the upside, with core services sticky and goods accelerating on autos and AI-related items; a December hike remains the base case despite no signal from Chair Warsh.
- ECB members back a 'moderate response', noting higher bond yields are doing part of the tightening and that no second-round effects are visible yet.
- China's growth is export-led, with fixed-asset investment still contracting and credit growth at a record low, while the Q4 bar to the official target looks easily met.
- IMF growth forecasts are unchanged at 3.1% for 2026 and 3.4% for 2027, but the regional mix shifts toward AI-exposed economies and away from energy importers.

Main risks
- Energy and AI-exuberance downside risks to global growth, with thin buffers and pressure for urgent fiscal consolidation.
- Supply-shock inflation could force faster tightening if second-round effects emerge.
- Iran/Houthi attacks in the Strait of Hormuz keep a geopolitical premium in crude despite IEA releases and possible sanctions relief.
Corresponding source evidence
The IMF's latest global growth forecast is unchanged from a year ago and from April 2026 (at 3.1% in 2026 and 3.4% in 2027), despite the energy shock, however with a different geographical breakdown: many energy importers and war-exposed countries downgraded, and AI-exposed countries upgraded.
