Federal Reserve watcher Nick Timiraos said the July inflation report came in largely in line with market expectations, easing pressure on the U.S. central bank to raise rates next month. Wall Street is still focused on CPI data as officials weigh the path of policy. Some officials argue that higher rates may still need to stay in place, while also saying the current level of interest rates is already restrictive. They add that elevated inflation is being driven by external shocks rather than overly loose monetary policy. The remarks point to a policy debate that remains centered on inflation data, rate restraint, and whether current settings are already tight enough.
