Friday Showdown: Markets Brace For Fed's Preferred Inflation Data While July Interest Rate Hike Bets Surge
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Investors are anticipating the release of the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, the personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index for May. The market expects PCE inflation to decline from 4.4% YoY in April to 3.8% in May. Investors have increased their bets on a 25-basis-point hike by the Fed in July, with an 87% probability. If PCE inflation is higher than expected, the dollar could strengthen and investors might bet on a second rate hike in September. This could cause weakness in risky assets and rate-vulnerable markets, such as equities and real estate.
