Official: U.S. inflation shows mixed signals

The President of the Boston Federal Reserve, Susan Collins, confirmed that the latest inflation report in the United States was mixed, with the core inflation rate higher than expected but influenced by factors that do not necessarily warrant an interest rate hike. She pointed out that the monthly inflation for goods and services is approaching the Federal Reserve's 2% target, with inflation gradually decreasing and no evidence of rising inflation expectations. Although the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index rose by 3.7% in July, data indicate that the reasons for declining inflation remain in place, supported by signals such as productivity improvements and concerns about the impact of high bond yields on economic activity. The situation in the market is continuously monitored, and appropriate measures will be taken when necessary.
