Oil prices are now up over 30% since mid-June.
$WTI Crude Oil - main 2311(CLmain)$ reaches $92.43, a record high in 2023.
$Brent Last Day Financial - main 2311(BZmain)$ has risen from around $72 to $95.
But the markets believe the rate hike cycle is over and that Fed will start to cut rates in 2024.
Why do surging oil prices won’t affect rate hike decision?
Oil prices account small part for core CPI
MORGAN STANLEY: “.. a 10% increase in oil prices .. adds 35bp to headline CPI for 3 months, but just 3bp to core CPI.”
The main reason that the market stays positive about rate hike is the core CPI in August drops. And Fed pays attention to core CPI and services inflation other than housing.
Market still expects oil prices to be suppressed under the key resistance level of $94. High oil prices won’t necessarily drive Fed to increase rates.
The combat against CPI really over?

I think Fed is facing a difficult task in trying to bring inflation down without causing a recession.
The Fed did keep interest rates at near-zero levels for an extended period of time during the pandemic.
The Fed took other steps to support the economy during the pandemic.
