CME FedWatch shows September rate hike odds fall from ~60% to ~30% after weak jobs, cooler CPI

Aug 21, 2026

The Bloomberg Television segment reviews shifts in CME FedWatch Tool probabilities for the September 2026 FOMC meeting. It notes an initial ~60% chance of a rate hike (including small odds of 50bp) in late July that fell to ~30% after the August 7 employment report and August 12 CPI release. The report highlights labor market softening in the jobs data and the CPI breakdown showing headline cooling to 3.4% while core fell to 2.5%, attributing much of the remaining inflation to volatile energy. It cautions that inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target and that future reports will determine if the dip is sustained or temporary, suggesting the Fed is likely to hold in September but the longer-term path is uncertain. Sourcing relies on official BLS employment and CPI releases, real-time CME FedWatch futures pricing, and narrative context around prior hotter May 2026 readings (4.2% headline). No named guests or external experts appear; the segment uses graphics for probability changes and CPI trends as a CME Group presentation.

Bessent Dismisses Recent Bond Volatility as 'Noise,' Predicts Decline on Fiscal Moves

Aug 20, 2026

In a brief Bloomberg clip, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent responded to recent volatility in U.S. Treasuries by stating that any movement within a 24-hour period is 'noise.'

The segment relies on Bessent's direct comments without named independent experts or on-screen graphics showing yield curves or deficit projections.

Hao argues tech governance, not CEOs, drives imperialist power concentration

Aug 15, 2026

In a Bloomberg Television interview, journalist and author Karen Hao discusses her book 'Empire of AI,' arguing that the core issue with leading AI companies is not individual CEOs but flawed governance structures that allow unchecked power.

Mark Cudmore Predicts 10-Year Yields to Hit 5% Floor, 30-Year Over 6% in 2027

Aug 12, 2026

The Bloomberg segment on CPI day features Mark Cudmore arguing the US has an ongoing inflation problem but today's print (expected soft) won't worsen it much. He claims the Treasury backdrop is negative regardless, forecasting significantly higher US yields—with 5% on the 10-year as a potential floor and 30-year through 6% next year—driven by strong global and US growth plus high fiscal and private spending. Cudmore then turns bullish on the UK, noting upgraded global GDP forecasts are warranted, positive high-frequency data, and World Bank/IMF figures showing the UK reclaiming fifth place in global GDP rankings ahead of India, countering stagnation narratives. Sourcing relies on Cudmore's analysis, Bloomberg consensus mentions, recent World Bank/IMF data, and high-frequency indicators; no named outside experts or detailed models provided. The throughline is that resilient growth and spending will push yields higher and support UK outperformance despite conventional pessimism.
