US CPI report is important for Fed hike expectations & USDFX Daily Snapshot

美国CPI报告对美联储加息预期和美元至关重要 · 外汇每日快照
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
MUFG's FX Daily Snapshot argues the September 11 US CPI report is pivotal for Fed hike expectations and the dollar. Stronger PPI has lifted implied hikes to 18bp ahead of the FOMC, up from 13bp. An in-line or stronger 0.2% m/m CPI reading would sustain hike bets and support the USD; a softer print could trigger a bigger dollar sell-off. Brent near USD110/barrel is worsening the energy shock, and the ECB's hawkish update supports the EUR as long as euro-zone growth holds up.

Key arguments
- Today's US CPI is decisive for Fed hike pricing and the USD; PPI strength pushed implied hikes to 18bp from 13bp.
- An in-line or stronger 0.2% m/m CPI keeps hike expectations alive and supports the dollar.
- A soft CPI could trigger a larger USD sell-off by cutting hike bets while other central banks tighten.
- The ECB's hawkish update and higher energy prices support the EUR so long as euro-zone growth holds up.
Key numbers
- Brent crude overnight high
- close to USD110/barrel

Main risks
- Energy prices and bond yields could keep rising, deepening the global equity correction and spilling over into FX.
- A soft CPI could stoke fears the Fed is falling behind the curve, weighing on the USD and long-term US Treasuries.
- The ECB's hawkish repricing relies on euro-zone growth holding up; any weakening could undercut EUR support.
Corresponding source evidence
The risk of a deeper correction lower for global equity markets if energy prices and bond yields continue to push higher would increase the likelihood of bigger spillovers into the FX market.
The sell-off in global bond markets accelerated yesterday alongside rising energy prices with the price of Brent hitting a fresh high of overnight at close to USD110/barrel.
The sell-off in global bond markets was also reinforced by the release of the stronger than expected US PPI report for August which has added more weight to the case for the Fed to begin hiking rates next week.
