The US unadjusted CPI index for Q3 2026 (latest observation: 2026-09-01) reached 336.94, rising significantly from the previous month and driving the annual growth rate up to 3.7%, higher than the market expectation of 3.6%. Energy prices skyrocketed due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which, coupled with sticky core services, became the main drivers pushing up prices. The resurgence of inflation has caused the market to sharply raise expectations for another rate hike by the Federal Reserve before the end of the year, potentially putting short-term pressure on US stocks and bonds.
