Elevated inflation readings and the Federal Reserve’s July 29 decision to hold the federal funds target range at 3.50–3.75 percent continue to anchor trader expectations for limited near-term easing. Core PCE inflation remains near 3.3 percent year-over-year while headline pressures from energy prices persist above the 2 percent target, prompting three dissents favoring a hike at the latest meeting and revised dot-plot medians pointing to at least one 25-basis-point increase by year-end. With the September 15–16 FOMC meeting set to release fresh economic projections, markets are closely watching incoming CPI and employment data for signs that would support a policy pivot versus further tightening. The current pricing reflects a hawkish consensus driven by real capital at risk rather than forecasts.
