All eyes on key US inflation reading due shortly; can you expect Fed ... (Zee Business)

Analysts believe a further cooling off of inflation in the US will likely take away some of the concerns among aggressive hikes in the US interest rates. The US is due to release an official monthly reading of consumer inflation in the world's largest economy later on Tuesday. [RBI announced its a hike of 25 basis points in the repo rate](https://www.zeebiz.com/market-news/news-rbi-repo-rate-hike-repo-home-loan-interest-emi-inflation-gdp-projection-shaktikanta-das-remarks-221143) — the key interest rate at which it lends money to commercial banks — to 6.5 per cent, as widely expected by economsits.

The pan-European Stoxx 600 index was up 0.4 per cent at the last count. All eyes will be on the US consumer price index report for January, which could determine the course of interest rates in the US and the rest of the world. Economists say Fed policymakers will likely study every bit of detail in the incoming US inflation data for basing its decisions on the key US interest rates in the coming months. The release of inflation data by the US labour department is due at 1330 GMT on Tuesday (7 pm in India). The Fed has already ruled out the possibility of a reversal in the current cycle of rate hikes in 2023, though its Chairman, Jerome Powell, switched to a smaller rate hike of 25 bps this month. The February 14 decision on benchmark interest rates in the US comes at a time when the Fed and other major central banks around the globe have the Herculean task of taming red-hot inflation without causing a blow to economic growth amid fears of at least a mild recession. An official reading of US consumer inflation could determine the course of revisions in benchmark interest rates in the world's largest economy, and have repurcussions for other major economies including India, where the RBI delivered its sixth back-to-back increase in the repo rate in the current cycle earlier this month.
