Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
State Street expects the FOMC to hike on September 16 and again in December after August core CPI rose 0.3% m/m, though it disputes the case for tightening. The ECB delivered a second 25bp hike to a 2.50% deposit rate and signalled more. The BoJ is expected to raise rates 25bp to 1.25%, with a narrowing path to 1.75% by Q2 2027. UK July GDP rebounded 0.4% m/m on weak underlying drivers.

Key arguments
- August core CPI rose 0.3% m/m, above expectations, making a September 16 Fed hike almost certain, with a second hike expected in December.
- State Street disagrees with hiking: pass-through is limited, rate hikes cannot resolve an oil supply shock, would further hurt housing, and the labor market is more vulnerable than the unemployment rate suggests.
- ECB raised rates 25bp for the second time since the Iran war began, citing possible second-round effects from the energy shock, though it sees little evidence so far.
- BoJ is expected to hike 25bp to 1.25%, retaining a hawkish bias, with a narrowing but viable path to 1.75% by Q2 2027.
Key numbers
- US core CPI (Aug, y/y)
- 2.4%, lowest since March 2021
- US core CPI (Aug, m/m)
- 0.3%, above expectations
- US headline CPI (Aug, y/y)
- 3.4%, as expected
- ECB deposit facility rate
- 2.50% after 25bp hike
- UK GDP (July, m/m)
- 0.4%
Main risks
- A Fed decision resting so decisively on a single data point is, in State Street's view, an 'illusion of precision'.
- The Iran war and El Nino make the risk backdrop changeable in unpredictable ways, so second-round inflation effects could still emerge.
- UK headline GDP strength masks weaker household demand and rising borrowing costs.
