Federal Reserve watchers prepare for potential shifts if inflation prints surprise

With major inflation reports on the horizon, economists and Fed-watchers reiterated on August 10 that a surprise uptick in CPI would likely push markets to price in higher-for-longer policy expectations. Fed officials’ public comments and the minutes from recent meetings are being parsed for any hint of tolerance for renewed inflation. Fixed-income traders said positioning is light, but option markets have priced modestly higher realized volatility. Corporate treasurers are also monitoring the curve for funding-cost implications later this year. Overall, the central-bank narrative remains the most important macro overlay for near-term markets. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
