Industrial production rose in June, personal income jumped 30.6 billion due to one-time Social Security payments, and inflation cooled to 5.1 percent annualized in Q2. The dollar strengthened, helped by higher prime rates. housing starts fell 5.2 percent in June to 1.07 million units after a May gain.
