Following the release of September CPI data, US three major stock index futures plunged into negative territory, spot gold and silver declined, Bitcoin fell below $83,000, and the probability of a Fed rate hike in October rose to 43.7%. 3.

The new model will be integrated into games including NBA 2K27 and Hogwarts Legacy. 4.

「Fed Mouthpiece」: Inflation comes in higher than expected, further supporting another interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve this year

Nick Timiraos, a Wall Street Journal reporter widely known as the "Fed’s mouthpiece," said September’s underlying inflation came in above expectations for the second consecutive month, further bolstering the case for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates again this year. Last month, Fed officials unanimously voted to hike rates, with nearly all policymakers projecting at the time another increase would come before the end of the year. September’s core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, rose 0.33% month-over-month, beating nearly all Wall Street economists’ forecasts. Core CPI had climbed 0.29% month-over-month in August. This report raises two key questions for Fed officials. The more urgent one: after policymakers recently signaled they do not plan to adjust rates at their meeting in two weeks, can they still hold off on another hike until December? Some analysts argue that if officials ultimately intend to raise rates, there is little reason to delay, though Fed policymakers have not yet shown signs of reconsidering policy solely based on this single report. The more critical question is how high interest rates will ultimately need to climb. That depends on whether pressures from surging energy prices and the AI investment boom will spread to the broader economy.
