    New York Fed survey's one-year inflation expectations rise to highest since May 2023

    The New York Fed's Consumer Expectations Survey showed that the median inflation expectation for the next 12 months rose to 3.9% in September, an increase of 0.3 percentage points from August, the highest since May 2023. Household spending growth expectations also rose to 5.5%, with the three-year outlook rising slightly to 3.3% and the five-year outlook remaining unchanged at 3%.

    Editorial Comment

    The New York Fed survey showed that one-year inflation expectations have increased significantly, and household spending expectations have risen simultaneously, which may strengthen the market's expectations for the Fed to continue its restrictive policies, put pressure on gold in terms of holding costs, and support the strength of the US dollar. Traders need to pay attention to whether this expectation is further reflected in interest rate market pricing, and pay attention to subsequent inflation data and verification of the stance of Federal Reserve officials.

    Fed meeting minutes showed officials expected to raise interest rates before the end of the year but gave no specific timetable

    The minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting showed that officials expected to raise interest rates again before the end of the year to deal with inflation that has been above the 2% target for more than five years, but did not give a specific time for raising interest rates. The September meeting unanimously voted to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, and 16 of the 18 officials who submitted forecasts expected another rate increase. However, recent inflation data have been lower than expected and many officials have stated that there is no need to rush into action. The possibility of raising interest rates in October has decreased; the next interest rate meeting is scheduled for October 28 and December 9.

    Editorial Comment

    The minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting confirmed that officials preferred to raise interest rates once before the end of the year but did not give a timetable. Coupled with recent lower-than-expected inflation, market expectations for actions at the October meeting may have cooled. For gold and the U.S. dollar, attention needs to be paid to the difference in expectations between the October 28 and December 9 meetings, as well as the pull on real interest rates from high yields and falling inflation.

    IMF President Georgieva: AI is both a hope for global growth and a risk for inflation and debt

    IMF President Georgieva said that while artificial intelligence has become a key driver of the relative economic strength of various countries, it also threatens growth through energy costs, public debt and financial stability channels. She pointed out that AI hardware and related technology products have accounted for more than one-tenth of the world's goods trade. If AI is done well, it can add up to 0.5 percentage points to global annual growth. However, global public debt is close to post-World War II highs and will soon exceed 100% of GDP. The AI ​​construction wave itself has an inflationary effect. If corporate profits fall short of expectations, the concentration of U.S. stock holdings may amplify disappointment into a broad impact.

    Editorial Comment

    The president of the IMF characterized the wave of AI construction as a variable that coexists with growth momentum, inflation, and debt risks. For the gold market, attention needs to be paid to the potential impact of inflationary stickiness brought about by energy cost channels and public debt approaching post-war highs on real interest rates and risk aversion. Foreign exchange traders should be wary of financial stability disruptions that may be caused by changes in AI-related trade shares and concentration of U.S. stock holdings, and pay attention to the transmission of risk appetite fluctuations to major currencies.

    European Central Bank Executive Member Philip R. Lane interviews Ansa about energy shocks, interest rates and the impact of AI

    European Central Bank executive member Philip R. Lane said in an interview with Ansa that energy prices are higher than the baseline scenario but the second-round inflation pass-through effect has not been strong so far, and the rise in long-term yields will be included in the monetary policy review. He also believes AI is driving a rebound in global trade and euro zone investment, and cautions that broad-based fiscal expansion will not help inflation return to the 2% target in time.

    Editorial Comment

    The Executive Committee of the European Central Bank placed energy prices, long-term yields and AI effects in the same policy assessment framework, indicating that the subsequent interest rate path is more sensitive to changes in input costs and financial conditions. Traders need to pay attention to the European Central Bank's official statement on secondary inflation risks and fiscal expansion, which may affect the safe-haven pricing logic of the euro exchange rate and gold.

    Philip R. Lane on the diagnostic challenges of ECB monetary policy

    ECB Executive Member Philip R. Lane sorted out the diagnostic challenges of the euro area's monetary policy at the 2026 Monetary Policy Meeting, believing that the energy supply shock has entered the second wave and requires a multi-factor assessment combining fiscal stimulus, AI and financial conditions. He revealed that overall inflation in September was 3.8%, of which energy inflation was 18.8% and non-energy inflation was 2.3%; the policy interest rate had been raised to 2.50% in two rounds, in June and September. Lane reiterated that future rate decisions will be meeting-by-meeting and based on data, rather than pre-committing a path.

    Editorial Comment

    Lane included the second wave of energy supply shocks, fiscal stimulus, and AI in the same diagnostic framework, showing that the causes of inflation in the euro area are becoming more complex. After the policy rate was raised to 2.50%, it still emphasized data dependence, which will amplify the sensitivity of the euro to subsequent inflation and growth data. For the gold and foreign exchange markets, attention needs to be paid to the signs of transmission of energy prices to non-energy inflation, as well as the market's repricing of the ECB's tightening pace under the "meeting-by-meeting" stance.

    Federal Reserve Board Governor Jefferson talks about U.S. economy and monetary policy

    Fed Governor Jefferson said the U.S. economy may continue to show resilience and add employment, extending a six-and-a-half-year expansion, but inflation is too high and risks are tilted to the upside. He mentioned that PCE rose by 3.4% year-on-year in August, core inflation was more moderate, and the FOMC raised the federal funds rate target range by 25 basis points to 3-3/4% to 4% last month. Future policy adjustments will depend on data, outlook and the balance of risks.

    Editorial Comment

    The Fed governor's remarks highlighted that the risk of rising inflation remains at the core of policy, while the resilience of the job market provides room for continued tightening. For gold, the high inflation environment brings certain support, but uncertainty about the path of interest rates may amplify fluctuations. Traders need to focus on how subsequent PCE and employment data affect the balance of risks and tightening expectations.
