Inflation Ease Pushes Fed Toward Rate Cut in 2024 Election Year
Inflation cooled to 2.5 percent year over year in August, the smallest since February 2021, with core prices up 3.2 percent from a year earlier. Gas prices dropped 0.6 percent from July to August, and used cars fell 1 percent, while grocery costs held steady. The Census Bureau reported a 4 percent rise in median inflation adjusted income to above $80,000. The data arrives ahead of a presidential debate where inflation remains a central issue.

Johnson postpones vote on temporary funding bill with voter proof rule
Speaker Mike Johnson postponed a vote on a six month continuing resolution linking funding to a voter proof of citizenship requirement. Democrats oppose the measure and some Republicans doubt it will pass as consensus talks continue. The stopgap would fund agencies through March 28 to avert a partial government shutdown before Oct 1.
