- Inflation is expected to cool again in today's July CPI report
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is set to publish the July Consumer Price Index data, with economists forecasting a modest cooling of inflation down to 3.4%. Key factors watch include rising rental vacancy rates and moderating wage gains, while concerns persist regarding whether inflation outpaces wage growth. Energy price movements, influenced by geopolitical events like the Iran war, also remain a significant area of focus.
