Key arguments
- Above-expected core CPI and rising oil prices keep a 25bp Fed hike in play, with the market-implied probability above 85%.
- Whether the Fed stops after one hike or signals a second is the key question for rates and risk assets.
- Rising energy costs and UMich inflation expectations at 4.6% intensify the inflation debate ahead of the FOMC.
- Singapore's August NODX is expected to expand 34.7% YoY, providing a read on electronics demand.

Corresponding source evidence
Market Watch :Asian markets are likely to open with a careful tone today, awaiting the trifecta of central bank meetings starting with the FOMC decision on Wednesday, followed by BOE and BOJ.
Fed chair Kevin Warsh may find himself cornered into a 25bp hike to 3.75-4% else risk disappointing markets after his hawkish rhetoric previously, but whether this is a one hike and done or with a potential second rate on the horizon will be key.
The BoE is likely static but with 3 dissenters already at the July MPC, the key is how divided will the vote be, as well as the annual announcement on the pace of bond holding unwind.
