Analyst: July Inflation Data Allows Waller to Breathe Easy

On August 12, market analyst Chris Anstey stated that the overall and core CPI data for the U.S. in July fully met expectations. In simple terms, these monthly figures do not trigger an inflation alarm and are generally in line with the Federal Reserve's targets. Waller can breathe a sigh of relief for now. However, what he truly needs is for the August inflation report to deliver similar numbers, but it is still 'too early for that.' (Jin Shi)

"Clearly, the market is still digesting the expectations for interest rate hikes, but we actually disagree with this view and believe that the Fed will keep rates unchanged for the foreseeable future," Dibo said in an interview on Wednesday. He noted that the inflation data released earlier this year was influenced by oil prices, the World Cup, and tariffs, but there are currently few signs that inflation will spread throughout the remainder of 2026.
