Key Quotes:

“While the December CPI report may not be a game changer for the market’s perception of near-term hiking prospects, a solid print in line with our expectation (core CPI +0.20% month-over-month and 2.2% year-over-year) should keep Fed rate hikes in play this year if various uncertainties are resolved”.
