Foreign exchange strategist Audrey Freeman stated that the moderate December CPI data provided a welcome respite as expectations of a Fed rate cut began to be questioned, suggesting it's too early to abandon expectations of a Fed dovish shift this year. This also means it may be premature to abandon a bearish view on the dollar driven by a Fed (rate cut) in 2026. (Jinshi)

A U.S. federal judge has temporarily halted a cease-and-desist order from Tennessee-mandated prediction market operator Kalshi to close its sports betting contracts in the state, freezing a cease-and-desist notice. The court will consider whether the company's platform, regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), should be exempt from state gambling laws. The order, signed Monday, suspends enforcement actions by the Tennessee Sports Betting Commission and the state attorney general. Previously, regulators ordered Kalshi, Polymarket, and Crypto.com to cease offering sports-related contracts to Tennessee residents and to cancel open contracts and refund customer deposits by January 31. Tennessee officials initially warned of potential fines of up to $25,000 per violation and possible referral to law enforcement. Kalshi countered that the dispute was a jurisdictional conflict between state gambling enforcement and federal commodity laws. In its federal complaint, the company argued that Tennessee's actions violated the CFTC's "exclusive jurisdiction" over derivatives trading on designated exchanges, and countered that the state's threatened enforcement action was preempted by the Commodity Exchange Act.

Market analyst Ira Jersey stated that the reassurance brought by the lack of a substantial surge in US inflation has led to blind optimism in the market and pushed up bond yields. The overall CPI increase of 2.7% year-on-year implies that the core PCE annual rate will be below 2.5%, paving the way for the Federal Reserve to adopt a more dovish stance. While a January rate cut is not considered a certainty, it undoubtedly brings the possibility of a March rate cut into formal consideration. (Jinshi)

According to Odaily, market analyst Chris Anstey noted that after the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, the yield on the U.S. two-year Treasury bonds experienced a slight decline of approximately three basis points. While this change is not significant enough to prompt the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, it does present a favorable signal for the Fed.

Traders have increased their bets that the Federal Reserve may not wait until Fed Chairman Powell's term ends in May to cut interest rates, following a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that basic consumer price increases were slightly lower than expected. While traders still believe a June rate cut is the most likely outcome, the latest data projects a 42% probability of a Fed rate cut in April, up from 38% before the data release. (Jinshi)

Data released by the U.S. Labor Department on Tuesday showed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.7% year-on-year in December 2025, while the core CPI rose 2.6% year-on-year, both unchanged from November. Currently, Federal Reserve officials are divided on whether inflation or labor market risks should be prioritized, and they will closely watch Tuesday's report to assess how businesses are passing on tariff-related costs to consumers. This December CPI report is the first comprehensive review of inflation trends in several months. Due to the government shutdown last fall, the Labor Department was unable to collect price data on-site and had to use technical means to process missing data in the previous inflation report. Although the inflation rate is currently slower than it was several years ago, prices for necessities such as food and insurance remain significantly higher than before. The December CPI report indicates that inflation in 2025 is generally moderate, although there was a limited rebound in inflation during the summer. (Wall Street Journal)
