According to ChainCatcher, although the U.S. core CPI rose 0.3% month-on-month in August, the Fed's favored inflation indicator "Core PCE Inflation Index" may only rise less than 0.2% last month, according to Kingshin reports. Analysts expect core PCE inflation to stabilize at 2.9% year-on-year in August, which could give the Fed a more optimistic view of price pressure at its September meeting. Core PCE inflation will remain on track and will not be worse than the Fed’s June forecast to rise to just above 3% at the end of the year, said Stephen Brown, macro analyst at Capital Investment.
