Next Week Macro Outlook: Powell's "Battle" Against Market Rate Cut Expectations, Fed Releases Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes
BlockBeats News Update, August 16th. Over the past week, U.S. economic data has been mixed, leading to continued market volatility in expectations of a Fed rate cut. Data released on Friday showed that driven by strong auto sales and large online promotions, U.S. retail sales saw broad-based growth. However, a later report revealed an unexpected decline in consumer confidence, the first since April, along with an uptick in inflation expectations.
Previously, the U.S. July CPI and PPI reports seemed to send conflicting signals regarding whether the economy is weathering the impact of Trump's comprehensive import tariffs, but both indicated persistent service inflation, with PPI hitting a three-year high on a monthly basis. Meanwhile, there is clear internal Fed disagreement regarding a September rate cut.
