Big banks post strong Q3 profits, but warn higher rates and inflation could bite
- September consumer prices rose 3.7% year-on-year, exceeding the 3.6% economists expected, according to the Labor Department, sending major indices lower as Treasury yields surged.
- Core inflation, stripping out volatile food and energy costs, topped forecasts at 2.6% versus 2.5% expected. Skyler Weinand, chief investment officer at Regan Capital, commented that "inflation is stubborn and moving in the wrong direction."
- Investor expectations of a quarter-point rate hike at this month's Federal Reserve meeting nearly doubled to 44 percent, according to CME Fedwatch, pressuring rate-sensitive stocks like Rocket, Hudbay, and Wayfair.
- Treasury yields reacted sharply, with the 10-year yield rising 7 basis points to 5.29%, while gold prices fell 1.1% to $4,116 as higher rates reduced the non-interest-paying asset's appeal.
- Annual headline inflation reached its highest level since May, prompting eToro analyst Bret Kenwell to note traders may "reassess the odds of a Fed rate hike later this month." The Federal Reserve meets October 27-28.
