Mike Shedlock: Hotter-than-expected CPI raises likelihood of December Fed rate hike
CPI trend points to possible Fed move

Mike Shedlock, Author / Blogger at MishTalk, stated that CPI inflation has come in hotter than expected for the third consecutive month. He added that this trend increases the likelihood of a December Fed rate hike.

Shedlock recently noted that U.S. Treasury yields collapsed over a two-week period, raising questions about the causes beyond inflation and oil prices. He also commented on Intel’s stock dropping sharply after a weak forecast. These previous assessments add further context to his current views on inflation and Federal Reserve policy.
