But signs that <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/inflation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>inflation</span></a> is accelerating more than is already forecast could disrupt any plan to lower <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/InterestRates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InterestRates</span></a> at the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FederalReserve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FederalReserve</span></a>’s next meeting in September.

Nonilex<p>A vacancy unexpectedly opened up at the start of the month when Adriana Kugler, a governor, announced that she was leaving before her term was set to expire at the end of January. <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> tapped a longstanding critic of the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FederalReserve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FederalReserve</span></a>, Stephen Miran, who most recently served as chair of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/independence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>independence</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>economy</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/CPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CPI</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/inflation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>inflation</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tariffs</span></a></p>

Nonilex<p>Tuesday’s data will be important for the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FederalReserve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FederalReserve</span></a>, which is facing a challenging economic situation as <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/prices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prices</span></a> are rising while the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>labor</span></a> market is weakening. It is a difficult backdrop given the Fed’s duty to keep <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/inflation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>inflation</span></a> low &amp; stable while ensuring that <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/unemployment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unemployment</span></a> does not rise too much. Officials at the central bank have kept <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/InterestRates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InterestRates</span></a> steady since the start of the year as they have sought more clarity on how <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>’s policies, including <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tariffs</span></a>, would impact the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>economy</span></a>.</p>
Nonilex<p>…Americans have become choosier about how they spend, depressing airline fares, hotel fees &amp; other services-related costs.

July’s <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/jobs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jobs</span></a> report showed just 73k jobs added for the month, &amp; gains registered in May &amp; June were revised down by 258k positions. Companies have yet to lay off workers in droves, but economists worry they will be forced to cut back on <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/costs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>costs</span></a> as <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tariffs</span></a> continue to eat into their margins.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>economy</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a></p>
