Inflation is back on the agenda next week with the market looking for a whopping 1.2% MoM increase in US prices due largely to commodity price jumps after the dawn on the Ukraine conflict. That will push the YoY CPI rate to 8.5% and keep the bond market on eggshells.
Inflation has been surging everywhere in the last two years, but the US is leading the way, with CPI (consumer price index) inflation already increasing close to 8%. last month we saw a jump in all prices everywhere, which is expected to push the CPI inflation to 8.5% but the number might even be higher. The FED is panicking which is helping the USD, so such inflation numbers should keep the USD in demand.
