Huatai Securities: U.S. CPI Data for November Falls Below Expectations, Rate Cut Expectations Rise
ChainCatcher News, according to Golden Ten Data, Huatai Securities pointed out that although the U.S. CPI data for November was significantly lower than expected, marginally increasing expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut, due to considerable noise in inflation and labor data, the Fed may pause rate cuts for observation. It is expected that there will be 1-2 rate cuts in the second half of next year. Since tariff rates have not increased further, the impact of tariffs on inflation is relatively mild, and the risk of high inflation in the U.S. is controllable.
