Fed's Bowman still cautious about changing policy stance

Bowman's prepared remarks to a gathering of bankers in Alaska reflect her continued stance as one of the Fed's more hawkish policymakers. While she refrained for a second time from saying she stood ready, if necessary, to further lift rates, as has been her position previously, she offered little indication she is ready to endorse a rate cut at the Fed's Sept. 17-18 meeting, as is now widely expected. Inflation should continue to fall under the current stance of policy, she said, and if inflation continues to fall sustainably toward the Fed's 2% target, "it will become appropriate to gradually lower the federal funds rate to prevent monetary policy from becoming overly restrictive on economic activity and employment."

Argentina economic activity seen back in the red in June

Argentina's economic activity likely fell in June versus the same month a year earlier, analysts said, back in the red after a rare rise the month before amid tough austerity measures and cost-cutting under libertarian President Javier Milei. The median forecast from 16 analysts sees economic activity down 1.9% year-on-year in the sixth month of the year, dropping back from May's 2.3% rise, as growth in the grains and gas sectors is weighed down by weak consumption and construction. The president's cost-cutting agenda has helped achieve rare fiscal surpluses and has allowed the central bank to rebuild reserves, but the economy has suffered, with consumption, construction and manufacturing down sharply.
