Weak economy keeps inflation in check with July rise
Consumer prices edged up 0.1 percent in July, energy costs moderated after June spike, and food prices fell for the third time this year. For the year to July, inflation runs 2.9 percent, with energy and employment trends signaling cautious recovery amid weak demand. Retail sales rose 0.5 percent in July, offset by June revisions. Weekly unemployment claims fell to 403,000, though experts expect further improvement only if claims drop below 400,000.
