Earlier this month, the initial strength in US payrolls was significantly revised downward. Last week, US consumer inflation met expectations, only to be followed by a hotter-than-expected producer price report just two days later and then an upward revision to retail sales data on Friday. These apparent inconsistencies reflect a US economy that is reorienting itself in a new environment shaped by tariffs and less labor supply \u2014 which, as we\u2019ve noted before, tend to come with a cost of slower growth and rising prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Importantly, the recent uptick in US prices is more likely to be interpreted by markets as an isolated shock rather than the onset of broad-based inflation. We\u2019re watching inflation expectations closely. After the Producer Price Index (PPI) release, the 3-year breakeven inflation rate rose by two basis points but remains only slightly above 2.5%,<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invesco.com\/us\/en\/insights\/stocks-mixed-data.html#1\">1<\/a><\/sup> a reassuring sign that long-term inflation expectations remain anchored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that the global economy continues to show resilience. On balance, we interpret the current environment as one of remarkable economic and corporate resilience in the face of the changing global trade backdrop. Global companies, in aggregate, are showing themselves to be well positioned to cope with the current backdrop. Many are thriving and analysts are upgrading their earnings growth forecasts. This sets up the conditions for further strong performance in risk assets in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-will-fed-chair-jerome-powell-say-at-jackson-hole\"><strong>What will Fed Chair Jerome Powell say at Jackson Hole?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fed will meet this week for their annual Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium. This year\u2019s theme is \u201cLabor Markets in Transition: Demographics, Productivity, and Macroeconomic Policy.&#8221; As always, a very apt set of topics to be discussed. But the main focus for markets will be Fed Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s comments. Historically, this meeting has been used to signal policy shifts. For example, last year Powell said that the \u201ctime has come for policy to adjust\u201d<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invesco.com\/us\/en\/insights\/stocks-mixed-data.html#2\">2<\/a><\/sup> \u2014 100 basis points of cuts followed in the rest of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant are calling for a repeat of last year. While the market is currently fully pricing a 25-basis point rate cut in September, we would urge market participants to be mindful that the incoming data has been very mixed. Contrary to Bessant\u2019s suggestion that \u201cany model\u201d<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invesco.com\/us\/en\/insights\/stocks-mixed-data.html#3\">3<\/a><\/sup> suggests rates should be around 150 basis points lower than they are now, most models, such as the Taylor Rule, suggest base rates are about right. Some specifications suggest rates should be higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While much of the commentary around last week\u2019s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data emphasized the moderate passthrough from tariffs, it was the supercore services CPI figure \u2014 which excludes food, energy, and housing costs \u2014 that caught our eye. At 0.48% month-over-month,<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invesco.com\/us\/en\/insights\/stocks-mixed-data.html#4\">4<\/a><\/sup> it was the highest reading since January and suggests that inflationary pressures are elevated in areas that the Fed would have trouble passing off as \u201cone-off tariff effects.\u201d Friday\u2019s PPI services data confirmed that concern; it rose by 1.1% month-over-month.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invesco.com\/us\/en\/insights\/stocks-mixed-data.html#5\">5<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>July retail sales data for the US, released Friday, showed a solid 0.5% month-over-month increase, while June\u2019s figure was revised to 0.9% from 0.6%. This data confirms comments from banks and payment providers<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invesco.com\/us\/en\/insights\/stocks-mixed-data.html#6\">6<\/a><\/sup> during the second-quarter earnings season that the US consumer still appears happy to spend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent labor market data meant the case for the Fed putting in some insurance cuts is a valid and compelling one, but the latest inflation data provided reasons to think Powell will reaffirm the Federal Open Market Committee\u2019s biases to wait for more clarity in the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uk-economy-isn-t-as-weak-as-feared\"><strong>UK economy isn\u2019t as weak as feared<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UK gross domestic product (GDP) and labor market data released last week sent some mixed signals too, but on balance point to an economy that\u2019s in a better place than many feared. According to data from the Office of National Statistics, the UK economy grew by 0.3% in the second quarter, or 1.4% year-over-year, as of August 14, 2025. Net exports were a large contributor to growth in the first quarter as US demand for UK exports rose ahead of tariffs. While we might have expected some drag in the second quarter, net exports remained a small net positive contributor to growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Official labor market data showed fewer workers again in July, but the pace of contraction in the labor market slowed. Companies have slowed their hiring significantly in response to the national insurance increase earlier this year, but so far are not laying off people to any great degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mortgage rates are falling and are nearing the point where the balance of refinancing should no longer squeeze most households. UK households still have plenty of savings and therefore may be expected to increase their spending later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In sum, the UK economy has likely hit its lowest point and could show further improvement through the remainder of the year, in our view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-earnings-outlook-is-improving-mostly\"><strong>Earnings outlook is improving \u2014 mostly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Second-quarter earnings season is nearing its end, and many companies have beaten consensus growth forecasts. They\u2019re now being rewarded by analysts with upward revisions to their future growth forecasts. US companies, especially in the financials and tech sectors, are seeing the bulk of the earnings upgrades. Earnings expectations for energy companies, however, have been revised lower because of lower oil prices. Call us old fashioned, but it\u2019s our opinion that it\u2019s earnings that ultimately drive stock markets. If those forecasts are being revised in the right direction, we expect that will lend support for further stock market gains this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
