Key Incremental News

1. US August CPI: Headline in line, core MoM beat (20:30 CST · BLS)

US August CPI MoM +0.4% (prev +0.1%, expected +0.4%), YoY +3.4% (prev +3.4%); Core CPI MoM +0.3% (prev +0.2%, expected +0.2%), YoY +2.4% (prev +2.5%). Energy component pushed CPI energy YoY to 16.3% (prev 14.7%) as refined products rebounded; gasoline prices rose 3.9% MoM in August, accounting for one-third of goods’ monthly gain. (Jin10 ID 229897/229895/229891; source: Jin10)

Impact: The core MoM beat of 0.1pp is the central data shock. While headline YoY held steady, core MoM resilience signals persistent inflation stickiness in services, directly driving Fed September hike pricing from ~70% pre-CPI to ~90%.

2. Fed September Hike Probability Rises to 90%, Two More Cuts Priced by Year-End (20:46 CST · Futures)

Post-CPI, short-term rate futures fell sharply. Market prices ~90% probability of a 25bp hike at the Sept 15-16 meeting (up from ~70% before CPI). Markets fully price two more hikes by year-end. The 10Y Treasury yield surged to 4.957%, nearing the 5% threshold—highest since Oct 2023. (Jin10 ID 229890/229879/229871)

Impact: 10Y nearing 5% is the most标志性 level in the current macro environment—meaning real rates tighten further, creating dual pressure on equity valuations (especially long-duration tech/growth) via higher discount rates and potential earnings downgrade risk.

3. Gold Plunges $70 Post-CPI, Then V-Reverses Above 4,390 (20:31-20:50 CST · Markets)

Spot gold briefly broke below $4,300 (low 4,290), first time since Sept 2; then bounced strongly, breaking above 4,360 by 20:50 and reaching ~4,390—recovering over $70 from the low. (Jin10 ID 229886/229882)

Impact: The third test of 4,300 finally broke, but most losses were收复 within 10 minutes, signaling substantial buy support in the 4,280-4,300 zone. The V-shape is itself bullish, but the 30Y yield hitting its highest since 2007 limits upside for yield-insensitive assets. Short-term resistance at 4,360-4,390 (prior dense trading zone).

4. US Stock Index Futures V-Reversal, Nasdaq Futures +0.78% (20:37 CST · Markets)

US index futures dipped briefly after CPI, then Nasdaq futures rebounded to +0.78%. VIX fell 1.49 points to 16.33. (Jin10 ID 229875/229867)

Impact: Limited downside and rapid rebound signal markets view CPI as “priced in”—while hike probability rose, it didn’t exceed expectations (core MoM +0.3%, though a beat, remains in a manageable range). VIX stays in the low 16-17 band; no panic pricing.

5. Nick Timiraos Dissects CPI Details: ex-Housing Core Services Inflation at 6-Month High (20:41 CST · WSJ)

Fed “megaphone” Nick Timiraos noted August ex-housing core services inflation rose 0.51% MoM, the highest since January; core goods inflation rose 0.11% MoM. (Jin10 ID 229888)

Impact: Services inflation (especially ex-housing) is the Fed’s “last mile.” If this trend continues into Q4, a September hike is all but certain, with at least one more in Oct-Dec—consistent with current market pricing.

Assessment

Inflation & Rates — Core beat confirms hike path; 5% 10Y is near-term ceiling. The core MoM +0.3% beat, though only 0.1pp, completes the “inflation resuming” evidence chain given strong jobs data and prior PPI strength. The 10Y surging to 4.957% near 5%, with 30Y at its highest since 2007—assessment: the upward rate trajectory won’t reverse short-term. A September hike is now highly probable; markets are repricing the duration of “higher for longer.” Dual headwind to stocks and bonds, especially duration-sensitive tech/growth. Strategy: monitor chain reactions if 10Y effectively breaks 5%; don’t chase short positions at this level.

Crude — Limited post-crash recovery, 95 support repeatedly tested but not stabilized. WTI dropped from 100.67 at open to 95.58, only slowly repaired to 96.2, with an intraday range of 5.3%. SHFE risk control upgrades (margin 17-18%, limit move 16%) mean Asian session liquidity will contract—assessment: demand-side headwinds (OPEC’s five consecutive downward revisions) and geopolitical博弈 (Houthi statement released, Iran conflict ongoing) keep oil in a high-range oscillation. 95 is the current bulls/bears dividing line, but false breakouts are more likely in thin liquidity. Strategy: don’t chase short; watch how 95-96 behaves under SHFE’s new rules Monday. If the Houthi statement doesn’t escalate to Hormuz blockade, resistance above 96 is equally significant.

Gold — V-reversal confirms 4,300 bid, but overhead resistance has shifted up. Gold bounced from 4,290 to 4,390, posting +1.7% on the day. 4,300 was pierced then quickly reclaimed, showing stronger-than-expected multi support. But the 30Y record high caps upside momentum—assessment: post-CPI, pricing is clearer—September hike all but certain, removing the rate-cut bid that previously supported gold. Geopolitical risk (Middle East) and central bank buying provide a floor. Short-term resistance 4,360-4,390; if 10Y pushes above 5%, 4,300 faces a second test. Strategy: range-trading approach, long near 4,300 / short near 4,390; confirm any breakout with a close.

Next Few Hours

Key Focus: 22:00 Michigan Consumer Confidence is the last US domestic data tonight. A significant miss vs. consensus (51) could signal high inflation is already feeding into consumer sentiment, further reinforcing the hike narrative. The FOMC meeting begins Monday—the Sept hike is nearly certain, but the dot plot and wording from沃什 will determine how markets price the “end point” of this tightening cycle.
