U.S. Inflation Data Sparks Market Reaction and Fed Speculation

According to ChainCatcher, analyst Anstey noted that the surprisingly low CPI data has led to a rise in U.S. stock index futures and an increase in Treasury prices. Although there is a significant amount of data yet to be released before the Federal Reserve's next rate decision in January, this CPI report is likely to bring forward discussions of further rate cuts in 2026. Analyst Curran highlighted that this data shifts the inflation narrative towards a dovish stance, suggesting that if the trend continues, debates within the Federal Reserve will take a markedly different direction.
