Aug. 26 (Reuters) - Traders see a slightly better chance of a Federal Reserve interest-rate hike next month after a government report showed inflation by the Fed's targeted measure was 3.7% in July, a touch stronger than economists had expected.

Fed funds futures prices reflected about a 42% probability of a September Fed rate hike after the report, versus about 36% immediately before.
