Let’s speak about deflation!

A Fed’s rate cut in September rate is still far from guaranteed, in my views, especially after last week’s releases of US CPI and PPI reports, which showed that supercore inflation remains stubbornly high, running at 4% yoy and 3.8% a.r. over last 3M, while companies are passing some tariff costs on to consumers.
