CPI for all items rises 0.4% in August; shelter and food up
09/11/2025

In August, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers rose 0.4 percent, seasonally adjusted, and rose 2.9 percent over the last 12 months, not seasonally adjusted. The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.3 percent in August (SA); up 3.1 percent over the year (NSA).

I guess the stock market is betting that the Fed is more concerned about the drop in employment than the rise in inflation and will cut rates accordingly at their meeting this month. The EU central bank held the line.

I'm guessing the market will go down on the day their announcement is made - regardless of a cut or not (but further if they don't cut). (Buy on the rumor, sell on the news).
