US CPI results and market reaction
The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) announced today was slightly below market expectations, with the overall CPI at 2.4% (expected 2.5%, previous 2.3%) and the core CPI at 2.8% (expected 2.9%, previous 2.8%). The US dollar is on a downward trend due to the view that inflationary pressure is weaker than expected. The dollar/yen exchange rate temporarily fell sharply, and the yen strengthened. Meanwhile, S&P 500 futures rose, and the stock market was energized by growing expectations of interest rate cuts. At the next FOMC meeting of the Federal Reserve, concerns about a re-acceleration of inflation may ease, and speculation about an easing policy may strengthen. However, the risk of future price increases due to the Trump administration’s tariff policy still needs to be closely watched. The market is optimistic in the short term, but attention is focused on long-term inflation trends.
