The CPI data related to Fed’s decision of interest rate hike as well as the FOMC minutes did not provide clear direction for the market as expected. CPI data is only 0.1% lower than the expected 0.2%, meanwhile FOMC minutes is ambiguous to interest rate hike decision. The possibility of interest rate decision is decreasing as indicators show, but we are not sure of any surprise to come in the future.
