FTSE 100 today: Stocks edge up ahead of U.S. CPI
Market context: SPY: Hot US core CPI data directly impacts US equity valuations and rate expectations. Strong core CPI tends to pressure equities, but the headline notes stocks still closed higher on the FTSE context. GBP/USD: BoE hike doubts versus a rallying dollar on hot US CPI directly drives this pair. Weaker BoE expectations and a stronger dollar tend to push GBP/USD lower. DXY: A rallying dollar on US inflation beating forecasts is explicitly mentioned in the companion headline. Hot inflation generally lifts the dollar on expectations of stickier Fed policy. TLT: Hot core CPI affects long-dated US Treasury yields and prices. Hotter-than-expected CPI typically pushes yields higher and TLT lower.
