US: Outlook for inflation affected by the stress in financial system

Following the Fed’s 25bp rate rise this week, we will be listening out for officials' latest views on where the risks lie and how they see the path for monetary policy evolving.

In this regard, we will be keeping a close eye on consumer sentiment measures given the unsettling news flow surrounding the banks in recent weeks. There are also plenty of housing data, while the Fed’s favoured measure of inflation, the core personal consumer expenditure deflator, is also due to be published.
