Washington, DC CNN —Last week’s economic data increasingly gave investors hope that the Federal Reserve could hold interest rates steady this month, following a hike in July that brought rates to their highest level in 22 years.
It’s hard to say definitively if or when the central bank will hike interest rates again this year.
The Fed could hold rates steady for the rest of the year if both the job market and the broader economy continue to slow, helping bring down inflation.
Higher for longer means keeping interest rates elevated for a prolonged period.
China’s National Bureau of Statistics releases August inflation data.
