Recently, US stocks climbed higher as traders digested new inflation figures from October that were in line with estimates. Consumer prices rose 2.6% on a yearly basis last month and 0.2% for the month, keeping investors hopeful that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its December meeting. Traders have increased their bets on another quarter-point rate cut from the Fed, with markets now pricing in an 82% chance of a rate cut in December, up from 59% the previous day.
“While the rise in overall inflation rates may make the outlook for future Fed cuts uncertain, there is still a strong possibility of a December rate cut,” said Skyler Weinand, the chief investment officer of Regan Capital. He added, “The incredible post-election rally in the stock market, combined with fiscal stimulus, may lead the Fed to pause on rate cuts in the near future to allow for further data analysis.”
