In this episode, Dustin Reid, Chief Fixed Income Strategist, shares his insights on two key macro developments that could reshape the Fed's policy trajectory: July's softer-than-expected US CPI print and significant downward revisions to recent job numbers. Dustin explains why these data points have prompted several Fed officials to warm to the idea of a September rate cut, and how tariff-related inflation, slowing private payrolls, and shifting rate expectations are influencing markets. This episode was recorded on August 13, 2025.
Today we look at the explosive reaction to the US July CPI release, which failed to confirm fears that Trump tariffs would feed into hotter headline inflation - but was this one-off algorithmic squeeze or something more durable? Also, a delving into the different moving parts of inflation, one major category of which could prove deflationary, a look at the macro and FX reaction to the US CPI data, Circle Internet execs doing a money grab, Coreweave dumped as it struggles with costs and more.

Stocks climbed to a record after an in-line US inflation reading bolstered speculation the Federal Reserve will have room to cut rates in September. US inflation data bolstered expectations that the Fed can move toward rate cuts without reigniting price pressures. While underlying inflation accelerated to the strongest since the start of the year, the modest gain in goods prices eased fears that trade-related costs may feed into broader price pressures. We get reaction from Charles Lieberman, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Advisors Capital Management. Plus - Bitcoin continues to flirt with an all-time high as demand from institutional investors and corporate treasury buyers lifts the wider market for digital assets. A recent executive order from US President Donald Trump clears the way for digital assets to be added to the mix of investments available in workplace retirement plans - and for ordinary investors dissatisfied with the returns from target-date funds or the traditional 60/40 portfolio to push their savings into riskier assets.

In the U.S. overnight the S&P and Nasdaq reset their respective record highs while the Dow Jones also closed higher as investors welcomed the latest CPI reading which came in tamer than expected. The S&P 500 rose 1.13%, the Nasdaq added 1.4% and the Dow Jones ended the day up 1.1%. The US CPI reading rose 2.7% on an annualised basis in July which fell short of economists' estimates of a 2.8% rise, while core CPI rose 3.1% which slightly beat expectations. The data indicates Trump's tariffs are having a lower impact than expected on inflation and supports the case for the Fed to consider a rate cut in the near future.In Europe overnight, markets closed mostly higher in the region after US inflation accelerated less than expected. The STOXX 600 rose 0.24% on Tuesday while the French CAC added 0.8% and the UK's FTSE100 climbed 0.22%, but Germany's DAX fell 0.13%.Across the Asia region on Tuesday, markets in the region closed mostly higher after a tariff truce was called between the US and China. Japan's Nikkei hit a record high, ending the day up 2.15%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 0.25% and China's CSI index ended the day up 0.52%.The local market started the new trading week higher with a 0.41% rise on Tuesday, following the RBA's 0.25% or 25-bps rate cut yesterday and on the back of key catalysts in the earnings and materials spaces over the last few sessions.The RBA's rate cut was expected and the board said ‘with underlying inflation continuing to decline back towards the midpoint of the 2–3 per cent range and labour market conditions easing slightly, as expected, the Board judged that a further easing of monetary policy was appropriate' but there was no discussion of a larger rate cut as Australia's central bank takes a more conservative approach to the rate journey amid extensive macro factors influencing our inflation journey.On the reporting season calendar yesterday we saw shares in geolocation tracking services and hardware company Life360 (ASX:360) soar 9% after the company released Q2 and H1 results that topped expectations including a 36% jump in both revenue and annualised monthly revenue.While at the other end of the market Seven Group (ASX:SGH) tumbled 9% following the release of FY25 results including revenue up just 1% while low to mid-single-digit EBIT growth is expected as guided to by management which will fall below that of the 8% delivered in FY25.What to watch today:On the commodities front this morning oil is trading 1.19% lower at US$63.20/barrel, gold is up 0.2% at US$3348/ounce and iron ore is up 0.73% at US$101.96/tonne.The Aussie dollar has strengthened against the greenback to buy 65.31 US cents, 96.47 Japanese Yen, 48.20 British Pence and 1 New Zealand dollar and 10 cents.Ahead of the midweek trading session the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX will open the day up 0.16%.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has decreased the 12-month price target on SGH (ASX:SGH) from $54 to $51 and maintain a hold rating on the diversified company following the release of the company's results as the analyst sees the company is facing short-term cyclical headwinds in construction markets, offsetting healthy operating conditions in mining markets.And Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Auckland International Airport (ASX:AIA) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 7-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $6.94 to the range of $6.59-$6.65 according to standard principles of technical analysis.
Nifty closed higher as India's CPI cooled to 1.6% and US CPI is expected at 2.8%, boosting hopes for a Fed rate cut in September — a positive for emerging markets.

Elsewhere, from how the US and China extended a tariff truce for another 90 days to how China has reportedly urged local companies to avoid using Nvidia’s H20 processors, particularly for government-related purposes – more international and corporate headlines remained in focus. Also on deck, a look at the latest monetary policy decision by the Reserve Bank of Australia. On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Kelvin Wong, Senior Analyst, OANDA.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news inflation is staying high in the US but retreating in India and Australia.The US CPI inflation rate remained at 2.7% in July, the same as in June and below forecasts of 2.8%. Still it is worth noting that June's level caused Trump to fire the bearer of that news. But the level has been held anyway. Food prices also were steady at +2.9%. Meanwhile, core inflation, which excludes food and energy, accelerated to a five-month high of 3.1%, compared to 2.9% in June and above forecasts of 3%. The monthly core CPI went up +0.3% as expected, its sharpest rise in six months.Apparently, importers were still absorbing most of the border tariff taxes.The new head of the agency responsible for this data (a Heritage Foundation official) has suggested they stop publishing monthly jobs data, especially for jobs, until "errors can be corrected". (Code for, what the White House wants.)What today's inflation data means for a Fed rate cut is still uncertain - for some. Equity markets are betting this "as expected" result will allow one and their bets are now 90% certain a cut will come on September 18 (NZT). Bond markets are a bit more sceptical. Currency markets remain bearish on the USD.Record expected corn production in the US, and closing international appetites for politicised trade uncertainties brought a swift fall in corn prices. The same USDA WASDE report says beef prices are rising in lower tariff-induced imports from Brazil and lower domestic production. US milk prices are little-changed but they expect to import more SMP.The US NFIB Small Business Optimism Index rose in July from June but it still not back to levels of earlier in the year. This latest rise is all about current outcomes rather than future conditions. The uncertainty subcategory was still high and rising.The US government posted a -US$291 bln budget deficit in July, despite a +US$21 bln boost in border tariff collections from importers, as spending outpaced revenues. The shortfall was US$47 bln larger than a year earlier, with receipts rising +2% to US$338 bln but outlays jumping +10% to a record US$630 bln for the month. The unexpected worsening seems to have been ignored by equity markets who 'liked' the inflation result.But the bond market is bracing for the impact of an additional US$500 bln in Treasury Bond issuance over the next six months. Benchmark yields rose.In Canada, a sharper than expected fall in Vancouver multi-unit house building permits, along with a sharper than expected fall in Toronto commercial building, has seen the Canadian building permit levels in June retreat much more sharply than expected. This retreat comes after an unusually strong gain in May however.In India, CPI inflation is retreating rapidly now, coming in in July at only 1.6% fron a year ago. In June it rose 2.1%. The July level is almost as low as the all-time low of 1.5% in June eight years ago. In the latest data, food prices deflated -1.8% and this was by far the major reason for the overall easing. The result is now well below the RBI inflation tolerance band of 2-6% so official rate cutting may come into play. But arguing against that is the record weakness on the Indian rupee.In Germany, ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment fell back for the first time in four months, mainly on the disappointing outcomes in the EU-US tariff 'negotiations'. But overall sentiment remain relatively high there in a long term perspective.In Australia, and in a unanimous decision, the nine member Reserve Bank of Australia Monetary Policy Board has cut its cash rate target by -25 bps to 3.60%, saying a further easing of monetary policy is appropriate after a pause at its last review in July. Most banks announced they would pass it on in full to home loan borrowers. Lower inflation tracks are behind the official rate cut.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.29%, up +2 bps from yesterday at this time. The price of gold will start today at US$3,347/oz, down -US$7 from yesterday.American oil prices have softened -50 USc to be just under US$63.50/bbl with the international Brent price now at US$66/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is at just under 59.6 USc and up +20 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are up +10 bps at 91.2 AUc. Against the euro we are down -10 bps at 51 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.2, unchanged from yesterday.The bitcoin price started today at US$119*,329 and down -0.2% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at +/-0.7%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.
Today, a look at the strong close to the equity market action on Friday and the ongoing speculative fervor in key areas of the market, with Bitcoin pushing near all time highs today. Also: a look at Apple's big comeback above its 200-day moving average and its massive pivot into AI, with all of the risks and opportunities that brings. Lithium and lithium stocks are a hot topic as well after China shutdown a key mine for three months. Looking ahead, we wonder if the US CPI release tomorrow can throw some cold water on the markets.

After an extraordinarily divisive Bank of England policy meeting, Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing explores why it's become so difficult to get a clear read on the UK economy. Part of the problem lies with the data – an issue now making headlines in the US following Donald Trump's dismissal of the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner. Neil explains what this means for the credibility of official data and what to watch for in the upcoming BLS inflation release, which could prove pivotal for the Fed's September decision. Plus, Thomas Ryan from our US team looks at why Trump's promises to restore American manufacturing are likely to fall far short of reality.Analysis and events referenced in this episode:Read: Miran a good pick for the FedRead: Integrity of economic data safe for nowUS Drop-In: Are higher tariff rates fuelling inflation – and how should the Fed respond?Data: UK Employment IndicatorRead: Tariffs will not fix decades-long manufacturing decline

US equity futures are slightly lower after Tuesday's gains. European markets are firmer in early trade, while Asian markets ended higher with broad gains across Greater China and Korea. US and China reached a framework to implement the Geneva consensus, though execution still requires approval from Presidents Trump and Xi. Commerce Secretary Lutnick suggested rare earth and magnet issues may be resolved through the deal, but any US export control easing depends on reciprocal Chinese moves. US-India and US-Mexico are reportedly close to interim trade deals addressing digital access and tariff relief, according to Reuters and Bloomberg. Eyes turn to Wednesday's US CPI report, where tariffs are expected to show up in higher core inflation.

Nora Szentivanyi and Michael Hanson discuss key takeaways from the latest Global Inflation monitor and the impact of tariffs on inflation in the US and the rest of the world. After a broad-based upside surprise in January, core inflation has shown a similar widespread moderation. The US CPI data show limited impact from tariffs through March, but we look for core inflation to jump to a 6%ar this quarter and next. At the same time, inflationary impulses in the rest of the world appear tilted to the downside; a pullback in US front-loading demand along with a decoupling of US-China trade should put downward pressure on goods prices as excess supply is redirected elsewhere. Absent a meaningful retaliation, we see core inflation outside the US moderating to 2.5-3%ar over 2H25. This podcast was recorded on April 30, 2025.
