Fed Brown Book: Temperature and rising inflation, and corporate cost pressures still in place

The United States Federal Reserve Brown Book shows a moderate overall rise in prices in the United States. Of the 12 federated federated territories, 9 reported moderate price increases, 2 were stronger, 1 was smaller and the overall increase was flat or slower than in the previous period. According to the report, the rising cost of energy, transport and raw materials pushes up the cost of inputs by enterprises, some of which attribute pressure to the effects of conflict and tariffs in the Middle East. Consumer prices continued to rise, and the profit space for some businesses was squeezed. Market perceptions about future inflation trends vary, with some predicting that inflation will remain at its current level, and others suggesting that lower fuel prices may ease pressure。

Federal Reserve Commissioner Cook: If inflation doesn't slow down soon, be ready to take action

On 16 July, Federal Reserve Commissioner Cook indicated that it would be wise to wait for a period of slowdown, but that if inflation did not slow quickly, action was ready. “I think that more time should be allowed from now on to observe how inflation develops. In the future, however, I still believe that the risk is still concentrated on rising inflation, owing to the investment boom in artificial intelligence, customs duties, and price pressures resulting from the Iranian war. If we cannot see signs of a slowdown in inflation soon, I am ready to act. I am fully committed to our inflation target, and this commitment remains firm.” Cook compared the current situation with that of a year ago, when inflation was well above the Federal Reserve ' s target of 2 per cent, while the job market appeared to be stable, but there was a risk of a slowdown in the job market and inflation. “I note that the balance of risk has changed significantly compared to about a year ago and that the risk of inflation now exceeds the risk of employment.” She indicated。
