According to Polymarket there is a 76% chance that the December CPI number comes in at or above 2.9% on Wednesday. This would be a significant increase from November’s CPI number of 2.7%. Since the Fed started cutting in September the CPI has been rising. The markets are preparing for this outcome today with a sell-off in asset prices. A higher CPI means a lower probability of rate cuts.
