In October, the core CPI in the United States exceeded expectations for three consecutive months, with rising costs in energy, services, and AI increasing pressure for interest rate hikes

Inflation data for October in the United States sends multiple warning signals. The data shows that the core CPI rose by 0.3% month-on-month, higher than the market expectation of 0.2%, exceeding expectations for the third consecutive month; the overall CPI rose by 0.4% month-on-month, also above expectations. The impact of rising energy prices is spreading to areas such as food and transportation, and service inflation remains robust, further complicating the Federal Reserve's efforts to control inflation.Specifically, food prices in the U.S. rose by 0.5% month-on-month in October, with grocery prices recording the largest monthly increase since April; urban transportation service prices saw the largest monthly increase since 2020, and prices for airline tickets and delivery services also increased. Additionally, service prices excluding energy and housing rents rose by 0.4% month-on-month, while owners' equivalent rent increased by 0.3%.AI investments are bringing new cost pressures. Over the past three months, the annualized price increase for computers and peripheral devices in the U.S. reached 25%, and electricity prices rose by 0.9% month-on-month in October, marking the largest increase in six months. Morgan Stanley estimates that AI-related factors have contributed about 6 basis points to the core CPI this year, with the current impact still relatively limited, but as data center investments expand, related pressures may rise further.In terms of monetary policy, Chicago Fed President Goolsbee described the latest inflation data as approaching an alarming level. Fed Governor Waller previously stated that if the core CPI month-on-month increase reaches 0.3% or higher, the December meeting should consider raising interest rates by 50 basis points. Goldman Sachs has included a forecast for an additional 25 basis point increase in March 2027, expecting that the target range for the federal funds rate will rise to 4.25% to 4.50%. However, some economists warn that there is a lag in the transmission of energy prices, and over-reliance on current data may lead to excessive tightening of monetary policy.

Next week, the U.S. CPI will be the market focus, CoreWeave and Nebius will announce their financial reports

Next week, the U.S. October CPI, PPI, and speeches from several Federal Reserve officials will become the market focus. Previously, the U.S. added 165,000 non-farm jobs in October, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, raising expectations for interest rate hikes. LSEG data shows that the implied probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike in December has risen to about 80%, with the market expecting that this cycle may see two more rate hikes, each by 25 basis points.In terms of inflation data, the U.S. October CPI will be released at 21:30 Beijing time on November 10, and the PPI will be released at 21:30 on November 13. ING expects that the overall CPI and core CPI will both rise by 0.3% month-on-month, which is sufficient to support a high probability of a rate hike in December. Monex's macro research director Nick Rees believes that unless the October CPI is significantly lower than expected, or the November employment report released on December 4 shows a clear weakness, the market is expected to have almost fully priced in the 25 basis point rate hike by the time of next month's meeting. Officials such as Waller, Bowman, Barr, and Jefferson will speak or participate in discussions during the week.According to Eastern Time, CoreWeave will release its third-quarter results after the market closes on November 10, Nebius will release its third-quarter results before the market opens on November 12, and Cisco will release its first-quarter results for fiscal year 2027 after the market closes on November 12. Anthropic plans to officially launch its IPO roadshow as early as the week of November 9. Geopolitically, the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine plan to hold working-level negotiations in Abu Dhabi from November 10 to 11. The head of the Ukrainian president's office, Andriy Yermak, stated that he does not expect breakthrough results from this meeting but believes that the resumption of face-to-face talks itself is progress.
