Despite consumer prices rising in line with estimates, a slight unexpected increase in core prices was noted. This data initially led to lower stock prices as it seemed to reduce the likelihood of a significant interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. However, the selling pressure diminished as expectations remain for continued rate reductions in the coming months.### Crude Oil MarketCrude oil prices saw a significant surge on Wednesday, rebounding from a three-year low due to concerns over prolonged production shutdowns in the offshore oil sector caused by Hurricane Francine. West Texas Intermediate Crude oil futures for October rose by $1.56 or 2.37% to $67.31 per barrel.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company – www.instaforex.com
