    Fed August Forecast Projects Core CPI Reacceleration

    Question

    Fed August Forecast Projects Core CPI Reacceleration

    Direct answer

    The Federal Reserve's internal projections for August indicate that the disinflationary trend may be stalling. With core CPI expected to rise to 0.27% in August, the 'last mile' of inflation control appears increasingly difficult. This shift in data puts the FOMC on a collision course for its September meeting, where previous expectations for a pause or cut are being replaced by a potential hike scenario.
