Fed will likely need to cut rates in coming months, Daly says
(Reuters) -Citing a slowing labor market and her assessment that tariffs pose only a short-term threat to inflation, San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly on Wednesday said she believes the U.S. central bank will need to cut interest rates soon. "Inflation, absent tariffs, has been gradually trending down, and with a slowing economy and ongoing restrictive monetary policy, should continue to do so," Daly said in remarks prepared for delivery to the Anchorage Economic Summit, adding that while tariffs will boost inflation in the near-term, they likely won't do so persistently. Meanwhile, she said, the labor market has softened. "I would see additional slowing as unwelcome, especially since we know that once the labor market stumbles, it tends to fall quickly and hard," Daly said. "All this means that we will likely need to adjust policy in the coming months." The Fed decided last week to keep short-term interest rates in their current 4.25%-4.50% range.

Lyft misses quarterly revenue estimates on competition, weak US travel demand
(Reuters) -Lyft missed second-quarter revenue estimates on Wednesday, weighed down by intensifying competition with Uber and weakening U.S. travel demand, sending its shares down about 9% in trading after the bell. Larger rival Uber Technologies, which offers ride-hailing, food and grocery delivery business globally, issued an upbeat forecast for the third-quarter earlier in the day, thanks to its efforts to boost engagement across its unified platform. Lyft's revenue of $1.59 billion in the second quarter missed estimates of $1.61 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. The company recently completed its nearly $200 million acquisition of European mobility platform FreeNow and has signed a deal with China's Baidu to introduce the search engine giant's robotaxis in the region. Lyft on Wednesday also announced a partnership, set to launch later this year, with United Airlines that will allow the carrier's customers to earn rewards on all Lyft rides. With partnerships including DoorDash and Chase already in place, Lyft's entry into Europe positions the company to extend such collaborations into international markets. Lyft said it expects gross bookings to be between $4.65 billion and $4.80 billion for the third quarter, well above estimates of $4.59 billion. With growth stagnating in major U.S. metros, ride-hailing companies are shifting their focus to medium and smaller car-dependent cities to tap into new markets and drive revenue. Lyft recorded an adjusted core earnings of $129.4 million in the second quarter, above the average estimate of $124.5 million. It forecast current-quarter core earnings of $125 million to $145 million, largely in line with Wall Street estimates.
