๐ฅ Inflation Cools Slightly but Pressure Remains
Todayโs CPI data shows a YoY increase of 3.2%, slightly below expectations of 3.3%. Core CPI also eased to 2.8%, marking the third straight month of gradual cooling.
๐ Markets reacted positively, with hopes rising for a potential Fed rate cut in September.
๐ง What it means: While inflation is trending down, sticky housing and services costs mean the Fed may stay cautious.
๐ฌ Will the Fed finally blink, or stay on guard?
