Insight: Expectation of a sharp increase in next month’s US PPI data further reduces bets on Fed rate cut in 2026

BlockBeats News, March 18th: U.S. financial website investinglive analyst Adam Button stated that this is the last uninterrupted PPI data before the outbreak of the Iran war. It is expected that the U.S. March PPI data will soar, but this is not a good benchmark because its year-on-year data will be the highest level since January 2025.

Earlier, the U.S. February PPI year-on-year rate recorded 3.4%, with the market expecting 2.9%, reaching a new high since February of last year, with a previous value of 2.90%.

In addition, traders further reduced their bets on a Fed rate cut in 2026.
