Fed Minutes Show Majority of FOMC Saw Inflation as Greater Risk
Most Federal Reserve officials highlighted the risk to inflation as outweighing concerns over the labor market at their meeting last month, as tariffs fueled a growing divide within the central bank's rate-setting committee. Officials acknowledged worries over higher inflation and weaker employment, but 'a majority of participants judged the upside risk to inflation as the greater of these two risks,' the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee's July 29-30 meeting said.

Mexico's inflation seen picking up in first half of August: Reuters poll
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexico's headline inflation likely rebounded in the first half of August underpinning prospects that the central bank would cut its key interest rate again, even though the rate remained within the official target, a Reuters poll showed on Wednesday. The median forecast from 14 participants saw the annual headline inflation rate reaching 3.66%, up from 3.48% in the second half of July. The central bank targets inflation of 3% plus or minus one percentage point. The core inflation rate, which strips out highly volatile items and is considered a better measure of the price trajectory, was however estimated to have sped up to 4.27% annually, from the prior figure of 4.22%. The Bank of Mexico slowed its pace of monetary easing earlier in August, cutting its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 7.75% - its lowest level in three years. The minutes of that meeting, where one of the five governing board members voted to keep rates unchanged, are due for release on Thursday, and are expected to shed light on the bank's next moves. The market expects the key rate to end 2025 at 7.50% as Mexico's economy faces weak growth punctuated by the uncertainty surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies. Compared with the previous two-week period, consumer prices would have according to estimates risen by 0.12%, while the core index is forecast to have increased 0.14%, according to the poll. Mexico's national statistics institute is set to releaste inflation data on Friday. Inicia sesión para acceder a tu cartera de valores
