Fed minutes: Most officials worried about inflation moving higher
WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Federal Reserve officials said last month that the threat of higher inflation was a greater concern than the potential for job losses, leading the central bank to keep its key rate unchanged. According to the minutes of the July 29-30 meeting, released Wednesday, members of the Fed's interest-rate setting committee 'assessed that the effects of higher tariffs had become more apparent in the prices of some goods but that their overall effects on economic activity and inflation remained to be seen.' The minutes underscored the reluctance among the majority of the Fed's 19 policymakers to reduce the central bank's short-term interest rate until they get a clearer sense of the impact of President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on inflation. So far inflation has crept up in the past couple of months but hasn't risen as much as many economists feared when Trump unveiled some of his duties. The Fed left its key interest rate unchanged last month at about 4.3%, though two members of its governing board dissented in favor of a rate cut. Both dissenters — Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman — were appointed to the board during Trump's first term. At a news conference after the meeting, Chair Jerome Powell signaled that it might take significant additional time for the Fed to determine whether Trump's sweeping tariffs are boosting inflation. When the Fed changes its rate, it often — though not always — affects borrowing costs for mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards. The Fed typically keeps its rate high, or raises it, to cool borrowing and spending and combat inflation. It often cuts its rate to bolster the economy and hiring when growth is cooling.

Tech, chip stock sell-off continues as AI bubble fears mount
Tech stocks fell for a second day on Wednesday as investors sold off a slew of tech names amid concerns over the sustainability of the AI boom and a recent market rotation away from some of this year's biggest winners. Among the Magnificent Seven Big Tech stocks, Nvidia (NVDA) was down about 0.8%, and Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) stock fell about 0.6%. Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), and Meta (META) shares fell over 1%. Chip stocks Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Broadcom (AVGO) dropped more than 2%; Micron (MU) shares plummeted more than 5%. CoreWeave (CRWV), the AI data center company that rents computing power to Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta — making it essentially an AI pure play — also dropped nearly 4%. Palantir (PLTR), a defense tech stock that's seen a major upswing from the AI boom, sank nearly 2%, extending its recent losing streak. The rotation out of AI-linked stocks comes as sentiment soured this week on the market for artificial intelligence, fueled in part by a recent report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and commentary from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Researchers for MIT's Project NANDA authored a report released this week that said 95% of companies it studied are getting no return on AI. The findings of the report were first detailed by Fortune on Monday. That report followed commentary from OpenAI's Altman shortly after the ChatGPT-maker finished out its latest multibillion-dollar funding round, with the CEO telling reporters that he believes there's an AI bubble, a diversion from his prior characterizations. 'When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth,' he said. 'Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes." DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria likened the changing market sentiment to a pendulum. 'This is really just pendulum swinging back,' he told Yahoo Finance on Wednesday. AI stocks have taken off in recent months after a rocky start to the year. A new, cost-effective AI model from Chinese firm DeepSeek released in January cast doubt on the massive sums of money Big Tech was spending to build out AI infrastructure to power the technology — and sent tech stocks tumbling. Two rounds of earnings updates from some of the biggest AI plays in the market and more clarity on Trump's trade policies have since quelled those fears. Investors applauded recent quarterly reports from Big Tech firms Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon, which surpassed Wall Street's expectations as the companies said AI boosted their underlying businesses. That news overrode the fact that those companies also raised their forecasts for spending on AI infrastructure. 'The AI trade was getting so expensive that all it took was some comment from Sam Altman to make the investment community take some profits off the table,' Luria said. Luria added that 'the reality is that AI still has limited applications' beyond consumers talking to AI chatbots and using the tools as a search engine. Some AI bulls, however, maintain faith in the technology's ability to fuel markets to new highs. 'We are still in the early days of the AI Revolution as the use cases are just starting to massively expand as more companies recognize the value creation being driven by a handful of tech companies led by the Godfather of AI [Nvidia CEO] Jensen [Huang] and Nvidia,' wrote Wedbush analyst Dan Ives in a note to investors Wednesday. He added that 'the tech bull cycle will be well intact at least for another 2-3 years given the trillions being spent on AI.' More will be revealed when leading AI chipmaker Nvidia reports its quarterly earnings results after the bell next week on Aug. 27. Laura Bratton is a reporter for Yahoo Finance.

Federal funding cutoff is breeding concerns for local governments U of M survey finds
Road construction in Lansing | Susan J. Demas Many Michigan localities expect to see harm from the loss of public funding, though few are preparing for cuts according to a recent survey from the University of Michigan Center for Local, State and Urban Policy. Released earlier this month, the survey examines city and county governments' plans as funding from several major streams enacted during the administration of former President Joe Biden, including the American Rescue Plan Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, come to an end, with federal cuts to housing and transportation championed by President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans also on the table. The survey included county, city, township and village officials from 1,328 jurisdictions across the state, with a 72% response rate. In their responses, 40% of local government officials said the loss or pause of one type of federal or state funding would pose problems. Of that 40%, 72% of cities, 68% of counties, 46% of villages, and 30% of townships voiced concerns with the loss of funding. Concerns were greater in communities facing high fiscal stress, with 6% of jurisdictions with high fiscal stress reporting that the loss of American Rescue Plan Act Funding would pose a significant problem, compared to 2% of communities with low fiscal stress. MPPS Federal Funding Infographic Spring 2025 Through the American Rescue Plan Act, Michigan's counties received a collective $1.93 billion in federal funds, while 49 townships received $1.8 billion and a group of smaller cities, villages and townships received $664 million. Although governments were required to commit the funds to specific purposes by December 2024, and have until December 2026 to spend them, the Michigan Public Policy Survey has previously noted administrative challenges tied to procuring the funding and navigating bureaucracy. Despite these concerns, 60% of governments had not begun preparing for a loss of state or federal funding as of spring 2025. According to the survey, this includes 31% of counties, 42% of cities, 59% of villages and 66% of townships. 'Both uncertainty as well as other internal local governmental capacity challenges are hindering some local governments from girding themselves for the coming drop in revenues that will impact their budgets and their service provision,' Debra Horner, the survey's senior program manager, said in a statement. For local governments who are preparing for a loss in funding, 12% of jurisdictions focused on water and sewer infrastructure, with 14% focusing on other capital improvements, with both categories among the most commonly reported uses of ARPA funds. Eleven percent of jurisdictions were preparing for a loss of funding for public safety and economic development while 5% were preparing for a loss of funding on energy programs and infrastructure.
