This, as investors focus their attention on the inflation datawhich will be key to the decision of rates of the Federal Reserve (Fed). In that sense, this Wednesday the November CPIfor which a very slight rebound in the general rate up to 2.7%, from 2.6% the previous month; while for the underlying variable It is expected to remain at 3.3%. However, «and with these readings discounted by investors, there is some fear that inflation has picked up somewhat more in November of what was projected, what would question the new interest rate cut that investors take for granted that the Fed will carry out next week,» they assess at Link Securities. That is why they believe that higher-than-expected inflation figures could cause a small correction in the US stock markets, «which would also extend to the European ones, whose main indices, after eight consecutive sessions on the rise, show clear symptoms of being overbought.» From Bankinter, they estimate that American inflation will demonstrate its resistance to giving in. «Inflations are entering a stage of rebounds and that is why It would be better if the market accommodated them with the caution they deserveespecially taking into account the excellent 2024 we have had.» The agenda also includes the production prices of the same month and weekly unemployment claims (Thursday). However, these data, together with the latest labor market figures, will be decisive for the Fed rate decision at its meeting on December 18 and for which the market discounts, with a probability of 89.5%, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool, which will carry out a new cut of 25 basis points.
