Chicago Fed's Goolsbee, Atlanta Fed's Bostic see case for patience before cutting interest rates
Chicago Fed president Austan Goolsbee and Atlanta Fed president Raphael Bostic on Wednesday both said they'd prefer to gain more clarity around the impact tariffs have on inflation before determining whether to cut rates. Goolsbee said he's waiting to see whether tariff-induced inflation could prove persistent. Likening tariffs to "throwing dirt in the air," Goolsbee said he's trying to figure out whether inflation and employment are still moving toward their goals of 2% and maximum employment, respectively. "If you start seeing prices go up and you start seeing employment go down, because tariffs, in my view, are a stagflationary shock, it makes both sides of the mandate go bad at the same time, and that's the worst position that a central bank could be in because there's not an obvious answer of what you do," Goolsbee said at an event in Springfield, Ill. Goolsbee cautioned that if we get more data like the latest Consumer Price Index report, which showed "core" inflation — which excludes volatile food and energy prices — rising on account of higher goods and services prices, that would be concerning. "Services are not tied to the tariffs," he said. "Everyone is hoping that's just a blip. There's noise in the data. If you start to get multiple months where the components suggest that the impact of tariff inflation is not staying in its lane, that would be more of a concern.' Core inflation rose 3.1% over the prior year in July and rose 0.3% from the prior month, the most in six months. Read more: How the Fed rate decision affects your bank accounts, loans, credit cards, and investments Speaking at a luncheon in Alabama on Wednesday, Bostic noted that a 4.2% unemployment rate remains historically low, suggesting the balance of risks remains tilted toward inflation. In other words, with inflation above the Fed's target and tariff impacts uncertain, there remains a case for the Fed to wait. July's jobs data, which showed a slowdown in hiring and sharp downward revisions to prior months, raises the possibility that "maybe the risks [between inflation and employment] are more imbalanced and we should be thinking about our ability to be patient as much less than it was before," Bostic said. In July, the US economy added 73,000 jobs, while job gains for May and June were slashed by a total of 258,000 due to revisions. This brought the three-month average payroll gain down to a mere 35,000. As of Wednesday, markets were pricing in a near certainty that the Fed will cut rates in September. Since the central bank's July 31 decision to leave rates unchanged, some Fed officials have called for the Fed to act next month. "Before September, as we go into the fall, these are going to be some live meetings and we're going to have to figure it out," Goolsbee said. "The hardest thing that a central bank ever has to do is try to get the timing right when there are moments of transition." Sign in to access your portfolio

Sensata Technologies, Vishay Intertechnology, Power Integrations, Entegris, and Amtech Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know
What Happened? A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the semiconductor sector continued to rally as a favorable July inflation report boosted investor confidence for a potential Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September. Lower-than-expected inflation data for July increased market expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut next month, with futures markets pricing in a 96.2% probability. A potential rate cut lowers borrowing costs, which is particularly beneficial for growth-oriented sectors like technology and semiconductors as it can fuel investment and expansion. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Analog Semiconductors company Sensata Technologies (NYSE:ST) jumped 5.6%. Is now the time to buy Sensata Technologies? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Analog Semiconductors company Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE:VSH) jumped 4.4%. Is now the time to buy Vishay Intertechnology?

Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Semiconductor Manufacturing company Amtech (NASDAQ:ASYS) jumped 6.9%. Is now the time to buy Amtech? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Zooming In On Amtech (ASYS) Amtech's shares are very volatile and have had 23 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 12 days ago when the stock dropped 3.3% on the news that the U.S. jobs report for July came in significantly weaker than expected while new widespread import tariffs were announced, sparking fears of a potential economic slowdown. The U.S. economy added only 73,000 jobs, far below estimates, and massive downward revisions to the prior two months painted a much weaker picture of the labor market. This has stoked recession fears, which would directly impact demand for chips used in countless products. Compounding these worries, the White House announced new tariffs, including a 20% levy on imports from Taiwan, a global hub for chip manufacturing. This dual shock of slowing domestic growth and renewed trade friction creates a challenging outlook for the highly cyclical and globally connected semiconductor industry, leading to a broad-based sell-off. Amtech is down 11.8% since the beginning of the year, and at $4.94 per share, it is trading 26.7% below its 52-week high of $6.74 from August 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Amtech's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $997.98. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.

Missouri confirms case of rare brain-eating amoeba infection
A person in Missouri has been hospitalized after contracting a brain-eating amoeba, possibly after water skiing in the Lake of the Ozarks, state health officials said Wednesday. The patient, who was not identified, is being treated in an intensive care unit for an infection of the Naegleria fowleri amoeba, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services said. Public health officials are still investigating the source of the infection, but the Health Department said the patient became ill days after they were at the lake. There are two public beaches open to visitors at the Lake of the Ozarks State Park, according to the park's website. The Health Department did not specify which beach the patient had gone to. While the Naegleria fowleri organism is common in warm freshwater, the infection — called primary amebic meningoencephalitis, or PAM — is rare, health officials say. It occurs when water is forced up the nose and is able to cross into the brain, which can happen during recreational freshwater activities. Between 1962 and 2024, there have been 167 reported cases of PAM in the United States, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services said. Last month, 12-year-old Jaysen Carr died in South Carolina after getting infected. The South Carolina Department of Public Health said it was the first known case in the state since 2016. The family of Jaysen Carr later spoke publicly about their son's death, saying they "do not want this to happen to anyone else." To reduce the risk of infection, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests holding your nose or wearing a nose clip if you are jumping or diving into freshwater or keeping your head above water in hot springs. Signs of infection include nausea, vomiting, fever, a severe headache, stiff neck, seizures, altered mental state and hallucinations. You cannot get a Naegleria fowleri infection from swallowing contaminated water or from someone else who is infected.
