Wall Street Reacts To CPI Report, Even As Markets Price In Certainty Of Dec Rate Cut
Today's CPI report - the final important economic report of 2024 - came on the screws with every Inflationary metric coming in as expected (if somewhat hotter when looked at a bit closer). Still, the market was relieved that the print did not beat estimates (as some whispers hinted), and for many this was enough to assure that the Fed cuts rates by 25bps next week before potentially pausing in January. Many... but not all.
As the following kneejerk reaction snapshots from a selection of Wall Street analysts, strategists and economists suggests, even today's print wasn't enough to assure everyone that a 25bps cut is a done deal, even if market implied odds are now up to 97.9%
Below we excerpt several key post-CPI soundbites:
Neil Birrell, Premier Miton Investors
"This report will give the Fed confidence. Investors will also take heart, as the lack of a surprise, good or bad, allows for more certainty in dec...

Loonie Strengthens After BoC Slashes Rates By 50bps Again, Blames De-Growth On Trump & Immigration
The Bank of Canada just slashed rates by 50bps (to 3.25%) - as expected - and the second 50bps cut in a row as the central bank claimed growth looks weaker than expected... but they were careful to tamp down any exuberance over future cuts.
The bank said it cut by 50 basis points to “support growth and keep inflation close to the middle of the 1-3% target range,” citing inflation near 2%, excess supply, and softer-than-expected growth.
The decision was expected by markets and most economists in a Bloomberg survey.
Slightly hawkish shift in language...
The central bank said it will be “evaluating the need for further reductions in the policy rate one decision at a time.”
By comparison, October's policy statement said that “if the economy evolves broadly in line with our latest forecast, we expect to reduce the policy rate further.”
Who's to blame for the slower growth? Trump ...
