Greenspan signals possible rate hike amid inflation concerns
The Fed has raised short term rates by about a point and Chair Alan Greenspan warned a further tightening could follow if inflation heats up. Richard Rahn, chief economist of the U S Chamber of Commerce, criticized the move as unjustified and questioned Fed oversight. The Labor Department reports inflation adjusted weekly earnings were flat in June after May's drop and April's rise, with a 0.3 percent CPI rise offset by more hours worked. Poultry and eggs drove June grocery costs while cereals, cooking oil, and dairy showed mixed changes.
