August 2024 PREVIEW:
Canada | Financial Stability Challenges | Interest Rate Cuts | Productivity Concerns
United States | Inflation Uncertainty | Lower Interest Rates Ahead | Affordability Gains
U.S. estimates for the next two PCE inflation reports indicate uncertainty in achieving the targeted 2% inflation rate. However, expected rate cuts by the Fed in September could provide relief, especially for homebuyers anticipating lower interest rates. With the median sales price of new homes drifting lower and positive reports on business productivity and worker compensation, there is good news in the US for affordability and inflation.
Commodities | Market Volatility | Natural Gas Benefits | Rising Construction Costs
