FED'S MUSALEM SAYS THE ECONOMY IS PRETTY STRONG RIGHT NOW AND THE BEST THING THE FED CAN DO IS LOWER INFLATION, ADDING THAT THE JOB MARKET IS OVERALL BALANCED AND STABLE WITH NO NEED TO COOL IT TO GET INFLATION DOWN, THOUGH THERE IS A RISK CONSUMER VIGOR COULD WANE AND CONTACTS ARE MOSTLY WORRIED ABOUT INFLATION RATHER THAN THE JOB MARKET.

With little evidence of labor-market inflation pressure, attention now shifts to September CPI on October 14, which could be more decisive for the next rate move.

U.S. INFLATION BREADTH SHOWS SIGNS OF COOLING Despite softer core PCE revisions, 51% of the PCE basket is still rising at 3% or more annually, little changed from recent months. However, the share experiencing inflation above 3% on a six-month annualized basis fell to 44% in August, from 49% in July — its lowest since October 2025. Underlying price pressures are easing, although inflation remains widespread.
