As of the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 3.94%, the Nasdaq closed down 5.16%, and the S&P closed down 4.32%. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield closed up 1.428% to 3.410, a difference of about -35 basis points compared to the two-year Treasury yield. Panic Index VIX closed up 14.24%.

U.S. CPI recorded 8.3% in August, higher than expected 8.1%. Core CPI was 6.3%, also higher than expected 6.1%. Inflation remains stubborn, especially services. After the data was released, the market adjusted its policy expectations for the Federal Reserve . According to the dot chart, the probability of raising interest rates in September is 80%, and the probability of raising interest rates by 100 pm is 20%. The probability of hiking interest rates to 350-375 basis points in November is 40.2%, and the probability of hiking interest rates to 375-400 basis points is 49.8%. The expected interest rate at the end of the year is 4.25%, and the expected interest rate for next year is 3.75%.
Institutional analysis said that the Federal Reserve had previously signaled that it would not cut interest rates next year. Under the unexpected inflation data, it is likely to maintain this attitude at its September meeting, and the stock market will be under obvious pressure in the short term. But the actual economic situation may still shrink faster, which is why the dot chart shows that the end-of-year interest rate next year is less than 4%. The Federal Reserve's austerity policy is still data-driven in the end, and we will pay close attention to high-frequency economic data in the future.
JP Morgan expects intermediary fees revenue to fall by 50% in the third quarter. Institutional analysis said higher-than-expected inflation rates increased the possibility that the Fed might adopt a tougher policy stance, with expectations for next week's interest rate decisions rising from 75 basis points to a full 100 basis points. Oil prices will be pushed further as demand grows outweighs supply and alternative energy sources such as natural gas and renewable energy cannot fill the demand gap. When crude oil prices fall to around $80 a barrel, the U.S. government may start buying crude oil to supplement its emergency strategic oil reserves, and Biden administration officials are considering the timing of such actions to protect U.S. oil production growth and prevent crude oil prices from plummeting, people familiar with the matter said.
