Summary · why it matters

Major Wall Street financial institutions have shifted to expecting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at the September Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase concluded that the August consumer price index reading justified a rate hike and switched to forecasting an increase at the September FOMC. Short-term money markets have priced in a probability of more than 90 percent for a September rate hike, and hawkish remarks by Fed Governor Christopher Waller at the Jackson Hole annual symposium emphasizing the need to address inflation also bolstered rate-hike expectations. JPMorgan Chase said core PCE has remained above 3 percent since the start of the year with no visible progress toward the 2 percent target, and expects rate hikes in both September and December, whereas as of July it had assumed only a December increase. Goldman Sachs strategists forecast the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.75 percent by year-end, and TD Bank also raised its forecast from 4.25 percent to 4.75 percent. Meanwhile, after Saudi Arabia halted operations on its main east-west pipeline as a precautionary measure on the 10th following repeated attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi armed group in Yemen, crude oil prices once again reached the 100 dollar level, with New York crude futures rising as high as 104.68 dollars on the 14th.
