The expectation is for a \u201csoft\u201d number around 2.5%\u2014which would tempt the Fed to keep interest rates on hold again in September. \u201cToday&#8217;s U.S. July consumer price inflation data will be less precise than in the past. There are more gaps in the data, and those gaps are filled by (educated) guesswork,\u201d UBS\u2019s Paul Donovan advised clients this morning. \u201cThe reaction to a single weaker employment report shows the potency of any data release at the moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cAbsent the war, that figure would likely be at or near 2% (core inflation has embedded energy in freight costs, air fares, etc.). One year on, tariff effects should add less to the inflation rate,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>European stocks are doing surprisingly well<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">One of the \u201cmyths\u201d about European companies is that they underperform on profits and are particularly exposed to the oil supply shock from the Gulf, according to Sharon Bell and her team at Goldman Sachs. But that is not true this year, she said in a note. \u201cThe prevailing narrative that Europe is struggling to generate earnings growth is increasingly at odds with the data. First-half EPS growth is tracking at +14% y\/y, the strongest pace in three years, and notably comes despite a renewed energy supply shock, which has historically been viewed as a headwind for European earnings.\u201d The Stoxx 600 is up 11% year-to-date, comparable to the S&amp;P 500\u2019s 13%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"block w-full\"><img alt=\"\" data-cy=\"article-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"590\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"transition-opacity duration-300 alignnone size-large wp-image-4546436 not-prose w-full\" style=\"color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 1024 590'%3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR4nGNgYAAAAAMAASsJTYQAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 50vw, (max-width: 768px) 85vw, (max-width: 1024px) 50vw, (max-width: 1200px) 40vw, 33vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-104733.png?format=webp&amp;w=128&amp;q=100 128w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-104733.png?format=webp&amp;w=256&amp;q=100 256w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-104733.png?format=webp&amp;w=320&amp;q=100 320w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-104733.png?format=webp&amp;w=384&amp;q=100 384w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-104733.png?format=webp&amp;w=480&amp;q=100 480w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-104733.png?format=webp&amp;w=576&amp;q=100 576w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-104733.png?format=webp&amp;w=768&amp;q=100 768w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-104733.png?format=webp&amp;w=1024&amp;q=100 1024w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-104733.png?format=webp&amp;w=1280&amp;q=100 1280w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-104733.png?format=webp&amp;w=1440&amp;q=100 1440w\" src=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-104733.png?format=webp&amp;w=1440&amp;q=100\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>MORE FROM FORTUNE<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Universities are buying and selling property for data centers, prompting concerns about an AI brain drain<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> &#8211; Joshua Hong<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Meet ChatTJB, the \u201cAI\u201d chatbot with no AI, no algorithm and no LLM.
