raders keep bets on June for first Fed rate cut after inflation data
Oggi 13:51 - RSF
March 12 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve policymakers are still seen starting interest-rate cuts in June, even as a government report showed consumer prices rose last month more than expected, based on prices of futures contracts that settle to the U.S. central bank's policy rate.
And though the 3.2% rise in the February consumer price index versus a year earlier was a slight acceleration from the 3.1% increase in January, traders actually added to bets that the policy rate will end the year a full percentage point lower than its current 5.25%-5.5% range.
