Summary:
U.S. inflation decelerated in July by more than expected, reflecting lower energy prices, which may take some pressure off the Federal Reserve to continue aggressively hiking interest rates.
The consumer price index increased 8.5 per cent from a year earlier, cooling from the 9.1 per cent June advance that was the largest in four decades, Labor Department data showed Wednesday. Prices were unchanged from the prior month. A decline in gasoline offset increases in food and shelter costs.
So-called core CPI, which strips out the more volatile food and energy components, rose 0.3 per cent from June and 5.9 per cent from a year ago

• Inflation to hit a target of 1.9% to 2.2% range will require a drastic shift in policies. The USA like
many countries has issues with innovation, skill gaps, productivity, government fiscal gap, and
household debt.
• Inflation new target likely needs to be 3.5% to 4.1% due to shift of both the public and private
sector to ESG reporting and the green economy.

16. CARGO
Blog - Retail Cargo Expected to Set Record in August
“Strong consumer demand has outpaced supply chain operations since late last year and could remain a challenge as the
holidays approach," Gold added. "The continuing lack of labor, equipment and capacity has highlighted systemic issues and the
need to create a truly 21st century supply chain to ensure resiliency against the next major disruption. Passage of infrastructure
legislation currently pending in Congress is a key step in that direction. We need continued focus by the administration to help
address these issues as well.”
Shipping and congestion continue to be a concern. “The strain of the continuing economic expansion is putting considerable
pressure on the logistics supply chain,” Hackett Associates Founder Ben Hackett said in a statement. “We’re seeing a lack of
shipping capacity combined with port congestion as vessels line up to discharge goods from both Asia and Europe. Delays are
stretching to landside as port terminals struggle with space shortages, and labor challenges are affecting ports, railroads and
trucking companies alike. This part of the recovery is not a pretty sight.”

18. STIMULUS AND INFLATION
COVID inflation is everywhere, but some have more of it than others. Among advanced economies, the U.S. is starting to
look like the outlier.
That’s probably because it did more fiscal stimulus in the pandemic, economists say. The consensus is that high inflation
won’t last long. But even if that’s right, the current elevated level has the potential to cause problems of its own -- for
President Joe Biden’s most ambitious economic plans at home, and for other countries too.
August data due Tuesday is set to show annual growth in U.S. consumer prices stayed above 5 per cent in August for a
third straight month, according to Bloomberg surveys. The median forecast was 5.3 per cent, down from 5.4 per cent the
previous month. Most other developed countries have seen a spike too -- just not nearly as big.

19. WAGES
Blog - Proportion of businesses raising pay hits 48-year high: NFIB
The proportion of small businesses that raised pay in October hit a 48-year high, with a net 44% increasing compensation
and a net 32% planning to do so in the next three months, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) said
Tuesday.
Optimism among owners toward the business outlook during the next six months slumped to the lowest level since
November 2012, NFIB said, citing a survey of 1,431 small businesses. “Owners have grown pessimistic about future
economic conditions,” the federation said, noting that 49% said they could not fill job openings and all but 10% reported
disruption from supply chain bottlenecks.
“One of the biggest problems for small businesses is the lack of workers for unfilled positions and inventory shortages,
which will continue to be a problem during the holiday season,” NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg said.

20. GREEN INFLATION
Blog - Decarbonization And 'Greenflation'
Accelerating the transition toward low or net-zero carbon emissions is necessary to keep global warming at
theoretically safe levels.
That will likely bring price shocks associated with rising metal prices, energy costs, and carbon taxes – what has
been called “greenflation”.
Greening the economy will also require public spending and redistributive policies.

Any significant change in tax and environmental policies will lead to changes in input costs for many businesses.
There are better ways to fixed issues with environment through more balance of policies that will not drive up the
inflation rates across the globe!
