US core CPI rises 0.2% in July, easing pressure on the Fed
AI Market Summary
July U.S. core CPI rose 0.2% m/m and 2.5% y/y (slowest since March 2021), while headline CPI increased 0.1% m/m and 3.4% y/y. The softer inflation profile reduces perceived urgency for further Fed tightening ahead of the September meeting, driving lower Treasury yields and firmer risk appetite. The main near-term transmission is via U.S. rates expectations and associated U.S. dollar repricing.
