Macro - The July CPI data indicates that the transmission of tariffs on core goods inflation remains slow, reinforcing market expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in September. However, the current market's expectation of three rate cuts this year may be overly optimistic, as immigration and tariff policies will continue to impact inflation in the second half of the year [2][5]. - In July, the US CPI year-on-year was 2.7% (previous value 2.7%, market expectation 2.8%).
