Analysis: U.S. consumer prices rise modestly in July, but data quality concerns intensify

2025/08/12 20:41

PANews reported on August 12 that U.S. consumer prices rose modestly in July, but a measure of underlying inflation posted its largest increase in six months due to higher commodity costs caused by import tariffs. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Tuesday that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% month-over-month in July, in line with expectations and down from 0.3% in June. The year-over-year increase was 2.7%, below expectations and unchanged from 2.7% in June. The core CPI rose 0.3% month-over-month, the largest increase since January, and 3.1% year-over-year, up from 2.9% in June. The CPI report came amid growing concerns about the quality of inflation and employment reports. Previously, U.S. government budget and staffing cuts led some regions across the country to suspend data collection for parts of the CPI basket. Citing the need to "match survey workload with resource levels," the BLS completely suspended CPI data collection for one city in Nebraska, as well as in Utah and New York. Additionally, the BLS suspended data collection for an average of 15% of its sample size in 72 other regions. This temporarily reduced the price and rent data used to calculate the CPI. This leads the Bureau of Labor Statistics to use estimates to fill in the missing information.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
