19-10-2026 09:23 AM


Ammon News - Market participants now await the Federal Open Market Committee’s meeting on US interest rates and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data due next week.

The ​US central bank tracks ​the PCE price ⁠measures for its 2% inflation target.

According to the CME’s FedWatch Tool, traders are pricing in a 16% chance of a rate hike this ​month and a 92% chance of an increase in December.

Elsewhere, the European Central Bank is likely to raise interest rates by 25 basis points at least ⁠one ​more time this year to fight inflationary pressures, the ​International Monetary Fund said on Friday.
