#BinanceAlphaAlert 🚨 Increased Bets on Federal Reserve Rate Cuts Following July Consumer Price Index Data
Following the latest inflation report for July, which showed that consumer prices in the United States rose by 0.2% month-on-month and 2.7% year-on-year - slightly below expectations - and a rise in the core consumer price index by 0.3% month-on-month and 3.1% year-on-year, traders sharply increased their bets on a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September.
According to Kalshi data, the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut is now 80%, while only 14% expect the Federal Reserve to maintain interest rates, and 6% expect a cut greater than 25 basis points.
