S&P500 futures trade lackluster in the early European session, portraying caution among market participants ahead of US inflation data. The US Dollar Index (DXY) rebounds from 105.60 but broadly trades sideways as the release of the consumer inflation data will provide fresh cues about monetary policy action by the Federal Reserve (Fed).
As per the consensus, monthly headline CPI grew at a nominal pace of 0.1% against 0.4% growth in September. The annual CPI rose by 3.3% versus. 3.7% increase in September. The monthly and annual core CPI that excludes volatile oil and food prices expanded at a steady pace of 0.3% and 4.1%, respectively.
A stubborn core inflation report would allow Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers to lean towards the further policy-tightening narrative. Last week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell categorized current monetary policy as inadequate to bring down inflation to 2%.
On the Swiss Franc front, investors await the speech from Swiss National Bank (SNB) Chairman Thomas J. Jordan. SNB Jordan is expected to guide about likely monetary policy action. Jordan is likely to emphasize on keeping interest rates higher to keep inflation below 2%.
