Basic inflation increases most in six months, which rates rates of tariff pricing concerns

On Tuesday, a new government data published on Tuesday, when investors, continued to be on duty that President Trump’s rates are beginning to influence consumer costs.

The latest data of the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that “major” inflation, which does not include volatile food and energy consumption, increased by 0.3% over the last month, exceeding 0.2% in June, and has denoted the highest profit in six months.

In July The annual basic prices increased by 3.1% compared to the June 2.9% increase per year, indicating that increasing inflation is no longer compensated to facilitate service inflation. The prices of basic services were also made efforts and the shelter increased by 0.2% for the second consecutive month, while transportation services and medical care increased by 0.8% compared to 0.2% and 0.6% in June.

With the report, economists expected the CPI to increase by 3.0% per year and 0.3% per month.

According to the headline, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 2.7%annually in July, which was in June and slower expectations of economists than 2.8%.

Monthly per month, prices increased by 0.2% compared to June 0.3% increase in equivalent to economists calculations. The month’s fall was due to lower gasoline prices and average softer food inflation.

“Although the main annual inflation has been the highest since February, today’s CPI printing is not hot enough to distract from September reduction rates,” said Seema Shah, the Chief Property Management Global Strategy.

Shah pointed out some evidence of tariffs related to consumers, although not yet at the level that “sounds alarm bells”. One example: July In July In July Prices jumped 1.4% – the maximum increase in the month from 2021. April

Other categories seen in the enlarged were furniture and bedding, relaxation, household furniture and operations and used cars and trucks. Airline prices jumped 4%when June. Decreased by 0.1%, while staying from home and communication was one of the few main arrows that fell last month, BLS reports.

Tuesday’s report is available in trade changes that could further change the US effective tariff, which now ranges almost 18.6%, the highest since 1933, based on the latest estimate of the Yale Budget Laboratory.

Raise new questions about the Reduction of the Federal Reserve Exchange.

Shortly after the report, investors reduced the probability of 90% at their September policy meeting that the Fed would reduce by 0.25% compared to 57% last month, according to a CM Fedwatch tool. Traders still expect more than two tariffs by December.

“Fed’s concerns are that due to stock inflation caused by inflation, the inflation will grow in the next few months, which means that inflation pressure is likely to increase only when the FED starts to renew the tariffs,” Shah said.

“Markets like today’s inflation printing, as it means that the Fed can reduce rates that are inseparable next month – October, December, December and beyond reduction rates may be more complex.”

The shares rose immediately after the report, and the 10 -year treasury yield (^TNX) ranged below 4.3%.
