Heard on the Street Tuesday Recap: Is a Rate Cut Coming?
Inflation remained steady in July, even as tariff increases began to show up more clearly. Consumer prices rose 2.7% in July from a year earlier, unchanged from June's gain. That was below the 2.8% rise expected by economists and keeps an interest-rate cut firmly on the table for September. Stocks advanced, with the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 setting records. The Nasdaq added 1.4% and the S&P and Dow industrials both gained 1.1%. Treasury yields were mostly higher. The 10-year yield neared 4.3%. Intel shares rallied after President Trump said he had met with the chip maker's CEO. The president said Monday's meeting, also attended by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, was 'very interesting.' Intel shares rose 5.6%.

Of course, we know that the industry is prone to big boom and bust cycles. And Alaska itself -- driven so much by oil and natural resource extraction -- is also known for its boom and bust cycles. So on our trip there, we spoke with Josh Norum, the CEO of Sourdough Express, an Alaska based trucking company that's been around for over a century. We talked about how the business works, the history of the company, the current economic environment, tariffs, and the unique challenge (and opportunity) of moving freight in America's northernmost state.
