The latest inflation data may make the Fed more cautious about the pace of interest rate cut, but not now.

This concern may prompt officials to be more restrained in predicting the number of interest rate cuts in 2025, while waiting for more evidence that inflation will steadily reach the target. Fed policymakers will release new forecasts and interest rate outlook at the end of the policy meeting in Washington on December 17-18.

"However, they must reconsider next year, because now it seems that the progress of inflation has really stagnated."Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will receive a new medical treatment on Thursday to prevent further brain bleeding, the Sao Paulo newspaper reported.
