US Inflation Expectations
The US inflation data to be released is expected to provide important clues regarding the Federal Reserve's subsequent policies.
While inflation in the country is expected to accelerate due to rising energy costs, money market pricing indicates a 78 percent probability that the Fed will keep its policy rate unchanged at its meeting this month.
Energy Supply and Oil Prices
