{"content":"The Federal Reserve just shocked the markets — U.S. inflation for September came in lower than expected, opening the door for a second interest rate cut this year. 📊 The data: CPI and Core CPI both rose 3% year-on-year, each 0.1% below expectations. That means inflation pressure has eased, and the Fed’s focus is now shifting from fighting inflation to protecting jobs. 🏠 The slowdown mainly came from weaker rent growth — owners’ equivalent rent rose only 0.1%, far less than forecast. Tariff impacts were mild: clothing rose 0.7%, new cars 0.2%, offset by price drops in used cars and medical care. 💼 But the concern now? Employment. In August, only 22,000 new jobs were created, while the unemployment rate climbed to 4.3%, the highest since late 2021. Powell’s earlier warning that the labor market is cooling is now reality. The upcoming rate cut is preventive — aimed at stopping further job losses before they spread. 📈 Market reaction was immediate: U.S. stocks surged, the Nasdaq hit record highs, and gold prices climbed. Yet analysts caution it’s too early to celebrate — tariff effects could still spark a delayed inflation wave. Some estimate the effective tariff rate may exceed 17%, which could reignite price pressures soon. ⚠️ Meanwhile, a government shutdown has delayed key data releases, meaning next month’s CPI may be missing — complicating the Fed’s decisions. For now, one thing is clear: this upcoming rate cut is the Fed’s move to “prepare for a rainy day.” 🌧️ #UAE #PakistanChinaFriendship #MarketRebound ","images":["https://d35imkjvkj28kt.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025102025/10/27/04db40bb1eb7546a38ba4993e6830af1.jpg"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
