The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its Consumer Price Index data for July, showing that the annual inflation rate increased by 3.4% from a year ago.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The FED's monetary policy is structurally dependent on the economic indicators published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The market is currently focused on how this data will influence the FED's interest rate decisions. President Donald Trump has also linked current inflation trends to the war with Iran.

High energy costs, driven by the ongoing war with Iran, are adding to the overall cost of goods and services in the U.S.
