The major benchmarks are mixed after an in-line consumer price index. The headline CPI increased 0.2% in July, in line with the consensus. The year-over-over-year figure was 2.9%, below the 3.0% consensus. Core CPI (excluding food and energy) was a bit higher at 3.2%, with the overall number benefiting from easing energy prices. Inflation is making slow progress toward the Federal Reserve's 2% goal, and we note the latest year-over-year figure was the first sub-3% reading since early 2021, which could enable the Fed to ease interest rates in September.
