U.S. Inflation Runs Hotter, Boosting Bets on Fed Rate Hike
U.S. consumer price growth accelerated in August as expected, while core inflation came in slightly hotter than forecasts, increasing expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates at its upcoming meeting.
Overall CPI rose 0.4% month-over-month in August, up from 0.1% in July and matching economists’ expectations. On a yearly basis, inflation remained at 3.4%, unchanged from July and in line with forecasts.
Gasoline prices were a major contributor, jumping 3.9% from the previous month and accounting for more than one-third of the overall increase in consumer prices. Energy prices also rose 2.1%.
Excluding volatile food and energy costs, core CPI increased 0.3% month-over-month, above the 0.2% forecast. However, annual core inflation eased slightly to 2.4%, from 2.5% previously.
The stronger inflation data has increased market expectations for a Fed rate hike. Markets were pricing in roughly an 86% probability of a 25-basis-point rate increase, up from around 70% before the CPI report.
Rising energy costs, geopolitical tensions, tariffs and strong demand for AI-related infrastructure are adding to inflationary pressures. At the same time, policymakers remain concerned about whether inflation is moving sustainably toward the Fed’s 2% target.
Financial markets showed a relatively muted initial reaction. U.S. stock futures remained higher, while the 2-year Treasury yield edged up and the 10-year yield moved slightly lower.
Bottom line: 🔥 Hotter core inflation → 📈 Higher Fed hike expectations → 💵 Potential pressure on stocks and risk assets → 🛢️ Rising oil prices add further inflation risks.
China AI Chip Stock Surges Nearly 200% in Shanghai Debut Shanghai Enflame Technology shares surged nearly 200% in their Shanghai debut on Friday, as investors rushed to buy one of China’s leading domestic AI-chip makers amid Beijing’s efforts to reduce reliance on Nvidia and other U.S. semiconductor suppliers. The Tencent-backed company opened at 410 yuan, far above its IPO price of 142.18 yuan, and climbed as high as 475 yuan before settling around 430 yuan. The rally valued Enflame at roughly 185 billion yuan ($27.6 billion)—about three times its IPO valuation. Enflame raised 6.12 billion yuan ($912 million) through its IPO. Strong investor demand was evident, with online orders exceeding 6,000 times the shares available and more than 7 million investor accounts participating. Enflame is considered one of China’s major domestic GPU makers and is benefiting from Beijing’s push for greater self-reliance in AI hardware. Tencent remains its largest shareholder with a 17.95% stake and was also its biggest customer in 2025, contributing nearly 84% of revenue. Despite rapid growth, the company remains unprofitable. Enflame reported a 1.16 billion yuan net loss in 2025, while revenue increased 37% to 990.2 million yuan.
Oracle is set to report its Fiscal Q1 2027 earnings after the market close, with investors watching closely to see whether its AI-driven cloud growth can keep up with soaring capital costs.
U.S. Treasury yields jumped sharply on Wednesday as traders sold bonds following the U.S. Treasury Department’s announcement of larger bond buyback operations.
The Treasury plans to buy back up to $6 billion of 10- to 20-year maturities on Thursday, up from $2 billion previously.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose 4.2 basis points to 4.846%, while the 2-year yield climbed 2.5 basis points to 4.423%.
Meanwhile, Brent crude surpassed $100 a barrel, its highest level since May, as escalating Middle East tensions raised concerns over global energy supplies.
Higher oil prices are increasing inflation risks and could pressure the Federal Reserve to maintain a more hawkish policy stance. Markets are now closely watching upcoming U.S. PPI and CPI inflation data, which could influence expectations for a potential Fed rate hike at the September 15–16 meeting.
⚠️ A hotter-than-expected CPI report could push the 10-year yield closer to the 5% level.
Konflikt zwischen Iran und USA eskaliert, während die Ölpreise sich der Marke von 100 US-Dollar nähern
Der Iran hat die Konfrontation mit den USA scharf verschärft. Dabei startete er ballistische Raketen auf einen US-Militärstützpunkt in Jordanien und griff Schiffe an, in und rund um die Straße von Hormus.
Die Islamische Revolutionsgarde (IRGC) erklärte, sie habe einen „harten“ Raketenangriff auf einen US-Stützpunkt nahe Al Azraq im Osten Jordaniens durchgeführt. Die jordanischen Streitkräfte gaben an, dass 18 der 20 ballistischen Raketen, die in Richtung des Landes gestartet wurden, abgefangen wurden, während die zwei verbleibenden in unbewohnten Gebieten einschlugen. Es wurden keine Opfer gemeldet.
Die IRGC behauptete außerdem, sie habe 10 Schiffe angegriffen, darunter zwei US-Schiffe und acht Öltanker, wodurch der Konflikt weiter in der Region um den Persischen Golf ausgeweitet werde.
Die Angriffe erfolgten, nachdem das US-Militär mitgeteilt hatte, es habe fünf iranische Öltanker zerstört, nachdem zwei versuchte iranische Raketenangriffe auf ein US-Navy-Kriegsschiff stattgefunden hatten. Das US Central Command erklärte, die Besatzungen seien angewiesen worden, die Schiffe zu verlassen, bevor sie getroffen wurden und dadurch funktionsunfähig gemacht wurden.
Der US-Außenminister Marco Rubio warnte Teheran, dass Washington weiterhin iranische Öltanker ins Visier nehmen werde – als Reaktion auf Angriffe auf US-Kriegsschiffe.
Unterdessen griffen vom Iran unterstützte Huthi-Kräfte auch Energie- und wirtschaftliche Einrichtungen im südlichen Saudi-Arabien an und hätten Berichten zufolge mehr als 70 Menschen verletzt.
Die jüngste Eskalation hat die Befürchtungen verstärkt, dass es zu Störungen des Schiffsverkehrs durch die Straße von Hormus kommt – einer kritischen Route für die globale Versorgung mit Öl.
Während Anleger das Risiko weiterer Lieferunterbrechungen einschätzen, stiegen die Ölpreise am Mittwoch in Richtung 100 US-Dollar pro Barrel.#Iran #USA #IranWar #MiddleEastConflict #MiddleEastCrisis #OilPrices #CrudeOil #BrentCrude #OilMarket #StraitOfHormuz #GlobalOil #EnergyCrisis #Geopolitics #USMilitary #IranUSConflict #SaudiArabia #Houthi #GlobalMarkets #StockMarket #Forex #Trading #Investing #MarketNews #BreakingNews #WorldNews #OilNews #EconomicNews #FinancialNews #InvestingNews

U.S. stocks started the holiday-shortened week lower as investors reacted to rising tensions in the Middle East, higher oil prices and growing expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike.
📊 Strong U.S. jobs data showed 162,000 new jobs were added in August, far above expectations of 55,000. The strong labor market, combined with persistent inflation, has increased expectations that the Fed could tighten monetary policy.
👀 Investors are now closely watching this week’s PPI and CPI inflation reports, which could play a major role in determining the Fed’s September decision.
🛢️ Brent crude climbed above $99 per barrel, as escalating U.S.-Iran tensions raised concerns about oil supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz.

🇺🇸 US Stock Futures Mixed US stock futures were mixed on Tuesday as investors returned from the Labor Day holiday amid rising oil prices, higher bond yields, renewed inflation concerns and growing fears of a possible Fed rate hike.
💼 Jobs Data & Treasury Auction in Focus A stronger-than-expected August jobs report has increased expectations that interest rates could remain higher for longer. Investors are also watching the ADP jobs data and the latest Treasury auction.

🛢️ Brent Crude Nears $100 Oil prices rose for a third consecutive session, with Brent crude up 1.4%, approaching the key $100/barrel level.
⚠️ Market Impact A sustained rise in oil prices could increase inflation and put pressure on the Federal Reserve to keep rates higher for longer. This could weigh on technology and growth stocks, while energy companies may benefit from higher crude prices.
The latest gains came after Iran warned that oil and gas infrastructure across the Gulf could become targets in retaliation for attacks on its assets.
The Strait of Hormuz remains the biggest concern for global oil markets, as any disruption to tanker traffic through the key shipping route could put further upward pressure on crude prices.
📈 Brent gained around 8% last week, while WTI climbed nearly 10%.
