TD Securities anticipates a slowdown in the US Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September, expecting a 0.20% month-on-month increase. This forecast suggests a moderation in underlying inflation pressures compared to previous months, according to FX Street.
The Core CPI excludes volatile food and energy prices, making it a closely watched indicator for policymakers and markets. A slower rise in this figure could influence the Federal Reserve's approach to monetary policy in the coming months.
For Japanese investors and traders, monitoring US inflation trends remains critical as it impacts currency movements and global risk sentiment, influencing both FX and equity markets.
