Market observers are now looking forward to the final inflation figures for September in the Eurozone. Preliminary data indicates that the inflation rate hit a three-year high of 3.8% in September, up from 3.2% in August. The European Central Bank (ECB) has already introduced two rate hikes this year in response to the strong price surge triggered by the oil shock caused by the Iran conflict. It is expected that the ECB will raise interest rates again this year, possibly in December after a pause at the October meeting.
Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh remains cautious ahead of the upcoming October meeting. He emphasized that he does not anticipate any decisions on interest rates before the session, stating this during his address at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank annual meeting in Bangkok on Friday.
