US Inflation Softens as UK Economy Grows Amid Rising Inflation Concerns
US inflation remained subdued in July, supporting the Federal Reserve's pause on interest rate hikes, while small-business optimism rose with increased hiring plans. European economies showed mixed signals: the UK economy expanded in June despite inflation pressures expected to rise due to AI-related chip shortages and higher energy costs linked to the Iran conflict. Investors favored higher-yield assets in emerging markets, with South Korean stocks benefiting from AI optimism. The Bank of England remains cautious amid these inflationary challenges and economic resilience.
