Recent fluctuations in economic data have triggered intense reactions in the market. The significant cooling of the PPI has left some investors ecstatic, with some even calling for the Federal Reserve to immediately take substantial interest rate cuts. Outrageous rumors have even emerged in the market about a direct cut of 300 basis points in September, and this sentiment seems to be a bit overly exuberant.

However, what truly deserves attention is the upcoming CPI data. If the CPI data continues the downward trend of the PPI and presents levels far below expectations, the market may overinterpret this, not only prematurely digesting the interest rate cut expectations for the fourth quarter but also making overly optimistic judgments about the direction of monetary policy in the coming years.

In this context, the focus of the upcoming FOMC meeting may no longer be whether to cut interest rates by 25 basis points or 50 basis points, but rather the Federal Reserve's dot plot. This document will more clearly illustrate the decision-makers' views on the future direction of interest rates, which is of significant guidance to the market.

In fact, the current economic situation presents a complex scenario of cooling inflation but a weak job market. The market has been calling for the Federal Reserve to take action, and the Federal Reserve finds it hard to ignore this. However, the challenge for policymakers is how to implement potentially more aggressive interest rate cuts without causing market panic.

Overall, the Federal Reserve is at a delicate balancing point. On one hand, they need to respond appropriately to economic data; on the other hand, they must also avoid excessive market interpretation that could lead to unnecessary volatility. How future monetary policy will evolve remains a topic worthy of continued attention.
