The U.S. annual inflation rate rose to 3.8 percent in April, according to new Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Economists had forecast a reading of 3.7 percent. Core inflation, which strips out the volatile energy and food prices, edged up to 2.8 percent, above the consensus estimate of 2.7 percent.President Donald Trump is set to depart for Beijing on Tuesday for a two-day summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Australia's starting to feel the economic effects of the energy squeeze stemming from conflict on the other side of the world. Annual headline inflation surged to 4.6% in March, up from 3.7% in February. It's the country's highest inflation rate since September 2023, when the economy was bouncing back after Covid. Westpac Chief Economist Kelly Eckhold told Ryan Bridge that New Zealand's inflation is unlikely to reach the same peaks. He says New Zealand economists are predicting a peak of around the mid-4s, whereas Australia's are expecting it to go well over 5%. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Finance Minister says New Zealand's inflation situation is very different to Australia's. Across the ditch, the rate's surged from 3.7% in February to 4.6% in March. Our headline rate was unchanged at 3.1% in the March quarter, but economists expect it to approach 4.5% for June. Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking Australia was experiencing higher inflation before the fuel crisis, in part due to government spending. She says she wants to be diplomatic, but the Australian Government is stimulating the economy more through its higher spending. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Finance Minister is concerned about an expected spike in inflation. The inflation rate has remained unchanged at 3.1% in the March quarter, despite forecasts of a drop. ASB economists now expect it to approach 4.5% this quarter, remain above 4% until the end of the year, and remain above 3% until at least the middle of next year. Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking there's no doubt inflation will rise this quarter. She's also refusing to name the five disgruntled National MPs that Christopher Luxon says are behind party leaks to the media. Luxon's passed a vote of confidence at yesterday's lengthy caucus meeting, but MPs aren't revealing details of the vote, including how many of them supported Luxon. Newstalk ZB understands the disgruntled MPs are Joseph Mooney, Andrew Bayley, Sam Uffindell, Barbara Kuriger, and Tim van de Molen. Willis told Hosking she won't throw colleagues under the bus without evidence. She says each of the five have said they haven't leaked to the media and support a unified caucus.

Inflation was higher than it should be, even before factoring in the full impact of the war on Iran. Stats NZ data shows the inflation rate remained unchanged at 3.1% in the March quarter. Internationally driven tradeable inflation dipped to 2.5% and the domestically driven non-tradeable rate was unchanged at 3.5%. The Herald's Liam Dann told Kerre Woodham these figures come before fuel rises really kicked off. He says it's disappointing we aren't heading into that crisis in a better position.

The Reserve Bank may have to hike the OCR sooner than expected, with inflation tracking higher than forecast. Inflation remains at 3.1% – unchanged on three months ago. ASB economists say the central bank could be facing a "nightmare scenario" of soaring inflation, against the backdrop of a fragile economy. Chief Economist Nick Tuffley told Ryan Bridge it's increasingly likely the Reserve Bank will start lifting the OCR around July. He says they believe it will wind up around 3.25% – a more neutral level for the rate. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's inflation numbers could represent calm before the storm. Annual inflation's likely to have fallen in the first quarter of this year after ending last year at 3.1%. BNZ is picking 3.1%, KiwiBank's is picking 3%, ASB and ANZ are picking 2.9%, and Westpac is picking 2.8%. ASB Senior Economist Mark Smith told Ryan Bridge that the future trajectory is more important. He says the oil price outlook is highly uncertain, and how long energy prices hold up will really determine how long that inflation rate holds up as well.

The other day I was chatting with a retired friend about the inflation rate he should assume when analyzing his investment portfolio and its ability to fund his retirement. The Fed's stated inflation goal is 2%, so my friend felt that 3% was a conservative assumption. There are several problems with using the CPI to […]

President Trump's “clamoring for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates” may finally pay off later this year when Kevin Warsh takes over as the new Fed chair.  Trump “shouldn't have to wait that long,” however, because his appeal to the Fed has been “on the grounds that inflation is much lower than what's being officially reported,” explains E.J. Antoni, Ph.D., The Heritage Foundation's chief economist.  “ It turns out Trump is spot on with today's real inflation rate being only one-third the official metrics. In fact, these numbers come from the real-time price aggregator Truflation which monitors millions of prices every single day. That is orders of magnitude more than the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or BLS, which only observes a few thousand prices just three times per month.” (00:00) Trump's Push for Lower Interest Rates (01:49) Understanding Real Inflation Rates (03:40) Comparing Truflation and CPI (06:26) Housing Costs and Inflation Metrics (09:02) The Impact of Lower Interest Rates (09:38) Conclusion and Next Steps

The Reserve Bank isn't expected to change its course, despite inflation remaining higher for longer. Stats NZ is providing its latest CPI update at 10.45am. Economists expect the inflation rate to remain about 3% – the very upper end of the Reserve Bank's target range. That's higher than forecast, reflecting a higher-than-expected rise in travel costs. ASB Senior Economist Mark Smith told Mike Hosking it's a little too soon to be thinking about hikes to the OCR, which is likely to be conditional on inflation. He says the Reserve Bank likely feels that there's still a bit of spare capacity in the economy, and that should be sufficient to push down domestic inflation, which should contribute to overall inflation going closer to 2%.

Travel costs are keeping inflation higher for longer than the Reserve Bank would probably like. Stats NZ is providing its latest CPI update at 10.45. Three months ago, the annual inflation rate was 3% - at the very top end of the Reserve Bank's target range. Economists expect it now to be between 2.9 and 3.1%. Economist Cameron Bagrie told Andrew Dickens inflation is looking to be a little bit sticky towards the top end of the target zone. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Inflation's officially higher than it's supposed to be. Latest Stats NZ data shows inflation's reached 3.1% – up from 3% at the last update three months ago. That's above the Reserve Bank's target range of 1 to 3%. The Herald's Liam Dann told John MacDonald it's also well above the Reserve Bank's forecast of 2.7%. He says there were hopes inflation was starting to fall again, so to see a rise like this isn't good at face value. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Strong Economy and Rate Cuts — Elizabeth Peek — Peek documents that the U.S. economy remains robustly strong, with aggregate consumer spending outpacing inflation rate accumulation, indicating sustained purchasing power and economic vitality. Peek acknowledges that labor market sentiment remains weak despite aggregate employment statistics, reflecting worker anxiety regarding job security and wage growth relative to cost-of-living increases. Peek predicts the Federal Reserve will reduce interest rates in December responding to softening employment indicators and deflationary pressures. Peek highlights ongoing uncertainty regarding potential emergency tariff implementation pending Supreme Court constitutional review and validation of executive authority over international trade policy. 1907 NYSE

Inflation's jumped to 3.2% — but for many of us, it feels even higher

Kevin Hincks says shelter prices softening was a big component to the latest CPI data being slightly lower than expected. September's delayed inflation print was released Friday after furloughed BLS employees were brought back to compile the data. One item that stood out to Kevin: Gasoline prices going higher, as crude oil prices fell nearly 9% in the month. Overall, he suggests it is a "benign" print and clears the way for investors to focus on trade discussions and upcoming earnings. Kevin says next week will be an "enormous" week with 5 of the Mag 7 earnings names alongside Pres. Trump and Pres. Xi meeting to discuss U.S./China trade relations.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Investors' exuberance is fueling this year's stock rally, but will key economic risks dampen the market's mood? The current bull run has lifted stocks from their springtime lows to higher levels in autumn. The artificial intelligence boom is one of the big factors driving it. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is dealing with the challenging situation of balancing the weakening job market and stubborn inflation. The Fed cut interest rates for the first time in 2025 in the third quarter, but the path forward from here is less certain. Morningstar Inc Senior Markets Reporter Sarah Hansen discusses seven key market factors you should watch in Q4 2025.Nvidia's investment of up to $100 billion in ChatGPT creator OpenAI could shatter records. The big bet is helping feed two simple narratives about the AI era, according to Dan Kemp, chief research and investment officer at Morningstar Investment Management Europe. First, there's too much investment in the technology, and booms tend to lead to busts. Second, AI has changed the rules of investing and returns. Kemp cautions investors to remember that there are a wide range of possible outcomes than these easy stories.  On this episode:You examine the highs and lows during each quarter and write about it. What do you think are the biggest takeaways from Q3? Stocks are climbing higher despite a lot of risks. What signals is the market ignoring, and could it be at its own peril? The AI boom is driving what's going on in the market. Mega-cap tech companies are making huge investments.

Can you describe this revival? The first interest rate cut of 2025 is in the books. The Federal Reserve pointed to the softening job market as one reason for the move. What are strategists telling you as the markets await the Fed's next move? Inflation is still not tamed and hovering above the Fed's 2% target. There are expectations that tariffs could raise prices for a while. What are the outlooks from Morningstar and other strategists? As the Fed cuts rates, short-term yields will come down. What about the rest of the bond market? Where do people see the risks? The federal funding fight is continuing in Washington, D.C. Let's timestamp this moment. It's Tuesday, Sept. 30. The US government would shut down on Oct. 1 if there's not an agreement. How does uncertainty like this affect the markets, and what should investors think? Earnings season is coming up in a couple weeks. What is your team watching for? What's the takeaway for investors as we enter Q4?We talked on last week's Investing Insights about inflation.

President Trump announced a major trade deal with South Korea, securing $350 billion in U.S.-directed investments, $100 billion in energy purchases, and a 15% tariff on Korean goods, while U.S. exports face zero tariffs. U.S. GDP grew 3% in Q2 2025, surpassing expectations, with inflation dropping to 2.1%, prompting optimism from the White House despite the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady. Nancy Pelosi endorsed a congressional insider trading ban after Trump accused her of profiting from insider knowledge, while a new Stanford study revised COVID vaccine lives saved to 2.5 million globally, far below WHO's 14.4 million estimate. U.S. fertility rates hit a record low of 1.6 children per woman, with a Georgian church-led initiative cited as a model for reversing declines, and Senator Josh Hawley's $600 tariff rebate proposal sparked debate as a morally questionable gimmick.   Trump South Korea trade deal, U.S. GDP growth, inflation rate, Josh Hawley, tariff rebates, Nancy Pelosi, insider trading, COVID vaccine study, U.S. fertility rate, Georgian Orthodox Church, Cincinnati violence, Vinay Prasad, FDA

Where will the housing market be by 2025? We've got some of the top 2024 housing market predictions to share today as we run through what could happen with home prices, mortgage rates, inflation, unemployment, and how single men could unintentionally tank the housing market. But we're not just reviewing other housing market forecasts; we're giving our own as we bet on what will happen by the end of this year. If you're buying, holding, selling, or even thinking about investing in real estate, this is data you need to hear. First, we're giving you a full rundown of the state of real estate in 2024 and where we are now. We'll then move on to inflation, the Fed's biggest target for the past few years. Inflation is starting to taper off, but will we be able to hit the golden two percent inflation rate by year's end? And with inflation finally falling, would that mean the Fed can FINALLY cut rates and lead us into a lower mortgage rate environment? We'll tell you exactly where we think rates will be by 2025. Next, we're hitting on home prices. Some top forecasters are predicting above-average home price growth, while one BIG listing site sees us going negative by this time next year. Who's right, who's wrong, and why is one wild predictor saying that single men will cause home prices to fall by twenty percent? We're getting into it all in this episode of BiggerNews! In This Episode We Cover: 2024 housing market predictions and where we'll be by the end of this year Mortgage rates, rate cuts, and the Fed's BIG decision to make in the Fall of 2024 The current state of the housing market and whether things are improving for buyers A growing unemployment rate and whether we'll see continued job loss into 2025 Home price forecasts for the summer of 2025 and why one leading listing site expects us to go negative Whether or not we'll see a housing crash in the near future (and who would cause it) And So Much More!
