Fed Hike Odds Top 70% as PPI and Oil Surge

(By ATFX Analyst Team)

 

Key Takeaways

  • U.S. equities and gold declined Thursday, while Treasury yields and the dollar strengthened.
  • August PPI rose 5.4% YoY and oil prices surged, heightening expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike next week (probability >70%).
  • Crude oil extended gains as U.S.-Iran tensions escalated.

Today’s focus: U.S. CPI (exp. 3.4% YoY) is the final inflation data before the FOMC. A stronger reading will likely put further pressure on risk assets and gold.

UK GDP: Expected to be flat MoM, guiding expectations ahead of next week’s Bank of England decision.

Markets Analysis 11/09/2026

EURUSD chart on 11 September 2026 shows resistance 1.1639/1.1656 and support 1.1588/1.1567 with wait-and-see bias.

  • Resistance: 1.1639 / 1.1656
  • Support: 1.1588 / 1.1567

The ECB raised rates and kept a hawkish stance, prompting markets to price in further tightening. However, the euro weakened amid concerns that policy may weigh on growth, while rising Fed expectations supported the dollar.

Analyst view: EUR/USD remains above the 10-day moving average. Ahead of the U.S. CPI, expect cautious price action. A stronger CPI may prompt further dollar strength, pushing EUR/USD below its moving average and testing trendline support.

Bias: Wait‑and‑see

 

GBPUSD chart on 11 September 2026 shows resistance 1.3552/1.3575 and support 1.3475/1.3451 with under pressure bias.

  • Resistance: 1.3552 / 1.3575
  • Support: 1.3475 / 1.3451

U.S. PPI reinforced expectations of a Fed rate hike, pushing GBP/USD lower. Today’s focus is on U.K. GDP and U.S. CPI. All these data may guide this pair’s momentum.

Analyst view: GBP/USD broke below its 10-day moving average and remains under pressure. In the absence of supportive data, the pair may retest last week’s lows near 1.3475.

Bias: Under pressure

 

USDJPY chart on 11 September 2026 shows resistance 154.83/155.29 and support 153.81/153.35 with mild rebound bias.

  • Resistance: 154.83 / 155.29
  • Support: 153.81 / 153.35

Boosted by U.S. PPI, the yen’s recent strength faded. USD/JPY ended a three‑day losing streak and posted its biggest daily gain since August.

Analyst view: USD/JPY reclaimed 154 but remains rangebound. A sustained break above 155 is required to confirm a stronger rebound.

Bias: Mild rebound

 

US Crude Oil Futures (OCT) chart on 11 September 2026 shows resistance 105.43/107.71 and support 100.95/98.06 with cautiously bullish bias.

  • Resistance: 105.43 / 107.71
  • Support: 100.95 / 98.06

Attacks in the Gulf region pushed Brent and WTI sharply higher for a fourth straight session. WTI broke above $100 for the first time since May.

Analyst view: Prices are approaching the May 18 high. Watch resistance above $105 and be alert for profit‑taking after the strong rally. Position adjustments ahead of the weekend may limit further upside.

Bias: Cautiously bullish

 

Spot Gold (XAU/USD) chart on 11 September 2026 shows resistance 4370/4397 and support 4283/4256 with weak cautious bias.

  • Resistance: 4370 / 4397
  • Support: 4283 / 4256

 

Spot Silver (XAG/USD) chart on 11 September 2026 shows resistance 64.61/65.20 and support 62.68/62.08 with cautious market pressure.

  • Resistance: 64.61 / 65.20
  • Support: 62.68 / 62.08

Rising oil prices and a strong U.S. PPI boosted rate‑hike expectations, lifting the dollar and Treasury yields and driving gold sharply lower.

Analyst view: Gold continues to face resistance above $4430. Ahead of the CPI, market caution may keep prices near $4300. If rate‑hike expectations rise further, gold may break below the early‑September lows.

Bias: Weak/cautious

 

Dow Jones Futures chart on 11 September 2026 shows resistance 52395/52773 and support 51548/51176 with under pressure bias.

  • Resistance: 52395 / 52773
  • Support: 51548 / 51176

PPI‑driven rate‑hike expectations, surging oil, and intensified bond‑market selling extended losses across U.S. equities. The Dow barely held above 52000, its lowest level since late July.

Analyst view: If CPI does not exceed expectations, the Dow may find breathing space and attempt a rebound above 52000. However, a strong CPI print could push it towards late‑July lows.

Bias: Under pressure

 

NASDAQ 100 chart on 11 September 2026 shows resistance 29206/29307 and support 29005/28878 with under pressure bias.

  • Resistance: 29206 / 29307
  • Support: 29005 / 28878

Higher PPI and soaring oil lifted Treasury yields, weighing on tech stocks. The Nasdaq opened lower and fell to a one‑week low.

Analyst view: The index broke below key moving averages and is approaching last week’s lows. Tonight’s CPI will determine whether it falls towards late‑August levels.

Bias: Under pressure

 

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) chart on 11 September 2026 shows resistance 77839/78550 and support 75551/74828 with under pressure bias.

  • Resistance: 77839 / 78550
  • Support: 75551 / 74828

Bitcoin fell for a fourth consecutive session, slipping further below $80,000 as rising Treasury yields boosted expectations of a Fed rate hike.

Analyst view: BTC/USD accelerated lower yesterday, hitting its weakest level since early September. Tonight’s CPI will determine whether it breaks below prior lows and moves towards support at 75551/74828.

Bias: Under pressure
