July Producer Prices Miss Estimates as Fed Rate-Hike Odds Ease Further
US July PPI undershot consensus (headline +0.1% m/m; core +0.2% m/m), reinforcing a second month of relatively mild inflation prints and reducing perceived odds of further Fed tightening. The policy-path repricing should lower front-end rate expectations and ease financial conditions, pressuring the USD and supporting risk assets at the margin. Ongoing FOMC dissent highlights uncertainty, but the inflation impulse looks less acute near term.
