美联储本月晚些时候的利率决策可能比之前预期的更难以把握,交易员们周三如此押注,原因是劳工部数据显示上月通胀率上升3.7%,高于预期。
A Federal Reserve interest-rate decision later this month may be a closer call than previously thought, traders bet on Wednesday, after Labor Department data showed consumer inflation last month rose 3.7%, faster than expected.
交易员此前将利率期货定价为10月加息的概率约为22%。在该报告发布后,该报告还显示基础通胀升幅快于经济学家此前预期,美联储10月27日至28日会议加息的隐含概率升至约40%。
Traders had priced interest-rate futures for about a 22% chance of an October rate hike. After the report, which also showed faster underlying inflation than economists had anticipated, the implied probability of a rate hike at the Fed's October 27-28 meeting rose to around 40%.
