đš BREAKING NEWS: U.S. September CPI comes in hot, sending bitcoin sharply lower
U.S. inflation sped up more than expected in September, perhaps putting multiple Federal Reserve rate hikes back into play.
The September Consumer Price Index rose 0.6%, according to a Wednesday morning report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Thatâs up from 0.4% in August, and in line with economist forecasts for 0.6%.
Core CPI â which strips out food and energy costs â rose 0.3% in September against 0.3% in August, and above forecasts for 0.2%.
Ahead of the data, a string of Fed speakers had hinted that the central bank was likely to raise interest rates another 25 basis points before year-end. Market pricing reflected that information, with most expecting the central bank to pause at its upcoming meeting later this month, but hike at its final meeting of the year in early December.
