Why it moved AI

  • Move size is unknown; current odds are 4%.
  • Posts cite rising inflation expectations, mixed CPI signals, and a hawkish Fed rather than cuts.
  • CNBC: Fed survey one-year inflation outlook highest since May 2023; NY Fed links some goods inflation to tariffs.
  • No U.S. jobs print is included; South Africa unemployment commentary does not apply.
