One point FF rate expected for this year. Nice trend: The PPI report, seen as a gauge of wholesale inflation, showed prices up just 0.2% in July and about 2.2% from a year ago. That number is now very close to the Fed’s 2% goal and indicative that the market’s impulse for the central bank to start cutting rates is about on target. CPI tomorrow at 8:30: Economists surveyed by Dow Jones expect the CPI similarly to show 0.2% increases on both the all-items reading and the core measurement that excludes food and energy. However, that is projected to show respective 12-month rates of 3% and 3.2% — well below their mid-2022 highs but still a good distance from the Fed’s 2% target. Amid the twin realities of declining inflation and rising unemployment, markets are pricing in the absolutely certainty of a rate cut at the Sept. 17-18 Fed meeting, with the only question left being how much. Futures pricing is roughly split between a quarter- or half-point reduction, and leaning heavily to the likelihood of a full percentage point reduction by the end of the year.
