Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
State Street highlights upside surprises in US September CPI (3.7% y/y, core 2.6%), PPI (6.3% y/y) and import prices, briefly lifting October hike odds near 50% before they fell to 15%. UK August GDP rose 0.1% m/m but growth should fade on energy costs. Australia's employment fell 39.3k with unemployment at 4.7%; the desk calls it a yellow light and still expects at least one more RBA hike, toward a cash rate near or slightly above 5%.

- Time horizon
- this month · next month · 2027 · September 2025
Key arguments
- US inflation upside was energy-led, but a 0.4% monthly shelter rise is the report's clearest blemish and needs a slowdown to confirm shelter disinflation continues.
- Elevated US inflation need not force an October hike; market-implied odds fell to 15% from almost 50%.
- UK momentum should fade into year-end as high oil and gas push inflation above 4%, with restrictive fiscal policy compounding the drag and recovery from late 2027.
- Australia's September labor weakness is a yellow light, not a red one: full-time jobs rebounded 34.4k, hours rose 0.1%, and rotation-group composition explains part of the unemployment increase.
Key numbers
- US CPI (Sep, y/y)
- 3.7%
- US core CPI (Sep, y/y)
- 2.6%
- US PPI (Sep, y/y)
- 6.3%
- Australia unemployment rate (Sep)
- 4.7%
- Australia employment change (Sep)
- -39.3k
Main risks
- Shelter disinflation may have stalled, keeping US core inflation sticky.
- Renewed energy price spikes could push UK inflation above 4% and trigger a rate hike while squeezing households.
- Australian labor demand may soften further across industries, beyond one month of noise.
Corresponding source evidence
04 Australia: Yellow Light The labor market threw another downside surprise, but we think it is still a yellow light for the RBA and maintain our forecast of at least one more hike.
CA: Building Permits (Aug, m/m) 8.8% Stronger than expected.
UK: GDP (August, m/m) 0.1% Growth driven by production expansion.
