July CPI Draws Split Verdict as Sahm Sees Disinflation, Schiff Calls Report 'Misleading'

July's CPI rose 3.4% year-over-year, in line with estimates and down from June's 3.5%, while core CPI eased to 2.5% from 2.6% and supercore (non-housing core services) rose just 0.2%, according to a Yahoo Finance report.
Former Fed economist Claudia Sahm called the narrowing breadth of price increases 'the best news' in the report, noting core CPI ran at a 1.6% annualized rate over the three months to July versus 2.7% a year earlier; strategist David Rosenberg said price pressure narrowed to categories like computers, airfares and used cars.
Economist Peter Schiff called the print 'misleading,' arguing the monthly-average CPI methodology means July's data still reflects May's oil-price collapse rather than July's rebound; Charlie Bilello of Creative Planning noted CPI has run at a 4.0% annualized rate since January 2020, now 13% above a 2% trend.

Bond Traders Grow Wary of $70 Billion in Off-Balance-Sheet AI Credit Backstops

Investors are increasingly concerned about roughly $70 billion in off-balance-sheet liabilities tied to AI infrastructure debt deals, following Nvidia's $500 billion AI financing partnership announced this week, according to a Bloomberg report via Yahoo Finance.
Under the structure, Nvidia is poised to provide 'residual value' support worth potentially tens of billions of dollars for debt deals tied to AI buildouts, letting firms rely on its credit rating to lower customer borrowing costs without the guarantees appearing on Nvidia's or Broadcom's own balance sheets.
Meta Platforms was the first major company to use this structure for its AI data center financing, and demand for the backstop mechanism has grown alongside soaring computing-power needs.
