Core CPI Jumps 0.3% in August, Exceeding Forecasts — Fed Rate Hike Odds Rise

📅 11.09.2026 15:48

U.S. core consumer price index (CPI) climbed 0.3% in August, outpacing analyst expectations and reigniting concerns that the Federal Reserve may implement another interest rate hike. The stronger-than-anticipated inflation reading signals persistent price pressures across the economy, potentially delaying any pivot toward monetary easing. Markets are now pricing in higher odds of a hawkish Fed stance, which could weigh on risk assets including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Investors are closely monitoring upcoming Fed commentary and economic data for further direction.
