According to CoinMeta, Brian Coulton, chief economist at Fitch Ratings, stated that the data to be released in the coming weeks is likely to provide all the signals needed for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in December. He pointed out that strong growth in per-unit profits, high energy prices, and an expansion in the range of inflation over the past year all indicate upward risks for inflation prospects in the United States, despite the relatively stable core CPI inflation data recently.
