Market Shifts as Rate Cut Hopes Rise

Expectations for interest rate reductions have climbed sharply this week, coinciding with a significant drop in Treasury yields. This comes against a backdrop of mixed economic signals—while the labor market remains solid, retail sales have disappointed and the housing sector continues to struggle.

All eyes were on today’s release of January’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), which many believed could shift the narrative, especially since annual resets in January often lead to higher-than-anticipated figures. Despite predictions of a strong inflation reading and a recent trend of January surprises, the latest data revealed that headline consumer price inflation increased by just 0.2% month-over-month, falling short of the 0.3% forecast. As a result, the annual headline CPI dropped significantly from 2.7% to 2.4%, approaching its lowest level in years.
