Key arguments
- US core PCE inflation cooled more than expected, with annualized core running at 2.0% after revisions.
- Long-dated Treasury yields hit new post-GFC highs above 5.30% before settling, steepening the 2-10 curve to 40bp.
- Asian chipmakers surged on Micron's strong outlook, lifting the Nikkei 225 2.8% while the ASX 200 diverged sharply lower.
- Gold steadied after a soft PCE print despite rising long yields, with ETF inflows of 63 tonnes in September supporting prices.
Key numbers
- US core PCE MoM August
- 0.2% vs 0.3% expected
- US core PCE YoY August
- 3.0% vs 3.3% expected
- Germany September inflation
- 3.3% YoY, highest since Dec 2023
- US 10-year yield high
- 5.30% (post-GFC high)

Main risks
- German inflation at 3.3% may keep ECB policy restrictive, pressuring eurozone bonds and growth.
- Rising long-dated yields and widening sovereign spreads, especially France, could trigger broader risk-off.
- Oil supply uncertainty from Middle East tanker incidents could reverse the recent price decline.
Corresponding source evidence

For August, the market was looking for 0.3% MoM and 3.7% YoY but got 0.3%/3.4% with year-on-year lower due to the lower revisions.
The core MoM number came in at 0.2% vs. 0.3% expected and the YoY was 3.0% vs. 3.3% expected, again on earlier revisions, with the July number also revised lower to 3.0% from 3.3%.
