With any thought of U.S. recession off the agenda after a monster September jobs report, doubts about the extent of further Federal Reserve easing have inevitably re-emerged - and now need a cool inflation report this week to keep in check.
And the "terminal rate" in this Fed cycle has now jumped to as high as 3.25% - above the 3% landing zone broadly assumed after the central bank's first outsize cut last month and above the 2.9% level Fed policymakers had indicated as long-term "neutral". But the rates picture will now likely be in thrall to the September consumer price report on Thursday, which is expected to see headline inflation inch down further to a three-year low of 2.3% - and within a whisker of the Fed's target. While "core" inflation likely remained above 3%, the constellation of robust jobs growth and ebbing, near-target inflation is as good as the central bank could wish for at this point of the cycle.
Trump said on Sunday he would slap tariffs as high as 200% on vehicles imported from Mexico as he ratchets up a protectionist trade stance.
