Today’s calendar is focused on U.S. data: the highlight of the session will be the U.S. CPI inflation data for August. The consensus forecast calls for a 3.4% y/y increase (similar to July) and a nearly 0.4% m/m jump, compared to 0.1% in July. A higher CPI reading could strengthen the dollar and bond yields and put pressure on precious metals, stock indices, and Bitcoin.
