CPI & PPI Will Set Interest Rate Tone, Will Not Enter 'Rate Hiking Cycle'

Cooper Howard says CPI and PPI are the two biggest metrics to watch on this holiday-shortened market week. He believes the inflation data will pave a clearer path on expectations for the Fed and interest rates. Kevin Gordon adds that if either report comes in hot, the FOMC will very likely hike, especially since the August jobs report came in much stronger than expected. However, Cooper makes the argument that no matter what the Fed decides, we will not enter a "rate hiking cycle."
