Institutional investors anticipate the upcoming U.S. September CPI release will trigger increased market risk appetite, according to 22V Research founder Dennis DeBusschere. An internal survey of the firm's clients revealed that 44% expect the inflation data to drive a risk-on reaction when released on Wednesday. Approximately one-third of surveyed clients forecast a mixed or muted market response to the CPI figures. Nearly half of respondents believe other market participants will similarly interpret the data as favorable for risk sentiment, suggesting a potential consensus-driven move across asset classes.
