The consumer price index fell by 0.3% in July from a year ago, but was up by 0.2% when compared with June, according to the National Bureau of Statistics Wednesday. The year-on-year CPI print for July was slightly better than expectations for a 0.4% decline, according to analysts polled by Reuters. It was still the first year-on-year decline since early 2021, according to official data accessed via Wind Information. The producer price index fell by 4.4% in July from a year ago, better than the 5.4% decline in June, the data showed. However, the year-on-year PPI read was worse than the 4.1% forecast by a Reuters poll.

45% probability — CPI rises by the consensus 0.2% estimate: Traders at JPMorgan think this is the most likely outcome, predicting the S & P 500 will add 0.25% to 0.5%. 22.5% probability — CPI increases 0.2% to 0.4%: A slight increase to the consensus estimate would see the S & P 500 shed between 1% and 1.5%, according to traders at JPMorgan. 5% probability — CPI climbs 0.4% or more: This scenario would be the culmination of both higher-than-expected auto prices and core inflation, the traders added. Under this outcome, the S & P 500 would fall 1.75% to 2%. 2.5% probability — CPI below 0.1%: The S & P 500 would climb 1.5% to 2% under this scenario.

☆ The Future of Rap Is Female
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-09 | by ( Niela Orr | Photographs Adrienne Raquel | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +22 min

The Future of Rap Is Female As their male counterparts turn depressive and paranoid, it’s the women who are having all the fun. In the mid-’80s, the dynamics shifted slightly, when UTFO released “Roxanne, Roxanne,” a comical torch song dissing a woman who rejected the men’s advances. Like good sex, raunchy rap is only fun if all parties are completely enthusiastic, and this music provides necessary female perspectives to match what the men make. In Miami one weekend in late July, Rolling Loud, one of the biggest annual hip-hop festivals, made itself into a microcosm of the rap world. There’s a relentless gender pessimism in the air, too — on the street, on dating apps, in the Supreme Court and, of course, in rap music.

Considering contributing to a 529 plan for their college education, or making them your life insurance beneficiary. But when that generosity comes at the cost of depleting your own retirement savings, the prospect becomes a lot less compelling. At current levels, most American families will have absolutely zero interaction with federal estate taxes. Amorello explained: "Gifting money actually can help grandparents lessen their own net worth to lower estate taxes. Because if you're leaving behind an inheritance, but half of it is going to the estate taxes, that can be a daunting realization."

That means Netflix, which is the only streaming company making real money. There's been a race between the major media companies to acquire users over the past several years, something you could describe as the "Netflix effect." There used to be a few dominant media companies, then the internet and cell phones arrived, and there was a fresh wave of competition and innovation. There's a strong chance that we're now moving back to a world where there's a few dominant media companies, albeit in different industry structures. And arguably, these new dominant media companies are more powerful than the old dominant media companies.

As the indictments against former President Donald Trump multiply, TV and print media commentators as well as members of Congress have called for cameras in the courtroom. As an assistant United States attorney in the Southern District of New York, I tried a number of Mafia and organized crime cases. The Trump trials are no different. “If jurors’ identities [in this case] were disclosed, there would be a strong likelihood of unwanted media attention to the jurors, influence attempts, and/or of harassment or worse of jurors by supporters of Mr. Trump,” Judge Kaplan found on March 23. In reaching that decision, the judge referred to reports of Mr. Trump’s previous “violent rhetoric.”

LONDON — European markets advanced on Wednesday, as traders digested China's disinflation and Italy's weakening of a surprise windfall tax on banks. The European blue chip index closed the Tuesday session 0.2% lower, with banks shedding 2.7% after the Italian government announced a surprise windfall tax on excess profits. Shares of Italian banks took a tumble on Tuesday as a result of a tax on net interest income announced on Monday. Citi analysts estimated that the levy represent around 19% of Italian lenders' net profits for the year. A Reuters poll of economists produced a consensus forecast for the July print of 3.3% year-on-year, up from 3% in June.

A July 13-31 Reuters poll of 75 economists showed the central bank was expected to keep its repo rate unchanged at 6.50% at its Aug. 10 policy meeting. The rise in food prices, however, has been sharper than expected this year and is seen lasting longer. The MPC at its June policy meeting also reiterated its intent of nudging inflation towards its medium-term target of 4% and not just holding it below 6%. "It will also possibly emphasise a larger need to be watchful of the second-round effects of high food prices and inflation expectations."
