The pre-market rally reflects cautious ‌optimism ahead of the‌ CPI release. ⁢The delay due ⁤to the government shutdown ‍adds an extra layer of uncertainty, but the market appears to ‍be pricing in a likely ⁤increase in inflation. The⁢ expected rise to 3.1% (from 2.9% in ‌August) is⁤ significant, perhaps influencing the Federal Reserve ⁣to maintain a hawkish stance on interest rates. The⁤ Canadian‌ dollar’s‌ weakness is directly tied to the unexpected ⁤trade negotiation termination by President Trump,⁣ highlighting geopolitical ‍risks⁢ impacting currency markets.The ⁣divergence ‍in oil adn gold prices -‌ oil up, gold down – suggests a complex interplay of supply-side factors (sanctions on Russia) and risk sentiment.
