Consumer inflation report supports an interest cut by Fed
US consumer inflation eased slightly in July, according to data published Wednesday, its smallest annual increase since March 2021 and a positive sign for the Federal Reserve as it weighs cutting interest rates. The consumer price index eased to 2.9% last month from a year ago, down slightly from 3.0% in June, while core inflation that strips out volatile food and energy costs cooled to an annual rate of 3.2%. The monthly inflation rose by 0.2% after declining in June, in line with expectations and on target for the Fed to cut rates next month from a 23-year high.

DoJ considers unprecedented split of Google

The U.S. Justice Department is weighing the unprecedented move of breaking up Alphabet's Google following a landmark ruling that found the tech giant guilty of monopolizing the online search market. The step is among options under consideration as officials look to curb Google's reach and would mark the first major attempt to dismantle a corporation for illegal monopolization since unsuccessful efforts against Microsoft two decades ago. Options include mandating Google shares data with competitors or imposing restrictions to stop it from gaining an edge.

Vance angers females again with comment

JD Vance once said one of the best things for the economy is the "postmenopausal female" because her purpose in life is to provide child care.
