U.S. Federal Reserve officials appear on track to end the year with interest rate hikes as a thing of the past but with a coming challenge over when and how to signal a turn to rate cuts that investors, politicians and the public may demand before the central bank is ready. A closely watched gauge of underlying inflation remains at 3.5% year-over-year, significantly above the Fed's 2% target, policymakers still worry about its resurgence in a low-unemployment economy, and officials' rhetoric points more to an extended rates plateau or even another hike. But the hawkish tilt in their words is also a way to keep options open at a time of uncertainty even as the outlook has made Fed officials increasingly confident that the federal funds rate range of 5.25% to 5.5% in place since July is enough to take some steam out of the economy and lower inflation the rest of the way.
After closing at their highest level of the year on Friday, U.S. stocks mostly hogged those gains into the new week - with 'peak rates' optimism, Friday's U.S. jobs report and falling oil prices jockeying with edgy geopolitics for attention. The S&P500 recorded its highest close since March 2022 on Friday - the month the Federal Reserve started its brutal five-percentage-point-plus interest rate squeeze. The milestone was hit as Fed boss Jerome Powell, for many investors at least, gave his clearest signal yet that the rate campaign is over and the central bank was now weighing the effects and when it may be able to ease back.

Purdue's owners under the settlement would receive immunity in exchange for paying up to $6 billion to settle thousands of lawsuits filed by states, hospitals, people who had become addicted and others who have sued the Stamford, Connecticut-based company over its misleading marketing of the powerful pain medication OxyContin. The justices in August paused bankruptcy proceedings concerning Purdue and its affiliates when they agreed to take up the administration's appeal of a ruling by the Manhattan-based 2nd U.S. Circuit of Appeals upholding the settlement.
