US inflation may have risen only modestly last month as Fed officials signal no rate hike is likely

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:21:40 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Inflation in the United States likely eased again last month, though the decline might have slowed since summer, a reminder that the outsize price pressures of the past two years will take more time to cool. Consumer prices are forecast to have risen 0.3% from August to September, according to economists surveyed by the data provider FactSet. Such a rise would be much slower than the previous month’s 0.6% price increase but still too fast to match the Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation target. Excluding volatile food and energy costs, “core” prices likely also rose 0.3% in September, the same as in August. The Fed tracks the core figure in particular as a good indicator of the likely future path of inflation.Thursday’s inflation data could bolster — or undercut — the growing belief that the Fed can tame inflation through the series of 11 interest rate hikes it imposed beginning in March 2022 without causing a recession.Hiring surged unexpectedly in Se...

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Greg and it's about tips. Here's his email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I have to admit, it takes a lot to surprise me, but what I saw this past Friday takes the prize. We’ve all seen more and more workers putting out “tip jars” in hopes of getting a little financial love from customers. I’ve seen it at coffee shops, car washes, gas stations, grocery stores…but I’d never seen one at a doctor’s office…until now. On Friday, I went in for a physical and saw a tip jar at the reception desk. Have I been in the dark on this one, or is this more common than I realize? Do we have to tip everyone now for doing their jobs? For the record, I did put a buck into the jar, but it felt wrong. What do you think? GregI'm all about people trying to make more money where they can, but this feels wrong to me. But I'm open to hearing different opinions. I guess I just ...
