Inflation held steady in September, running hotter than expected_我的网站

一 |     Consumer prices rose 3.7% in September compared to a year ago, holding steady from the previous month and running hotter than economists had expected.While inflation has fallen significantly from a peak of about 9% last summer, price increases remain more than a percentage point higher than the Fed's inflation target.The data arrives roughly three weeks before the Fed plans to make its latest rate-hike decision. Last month, the Fed left its benchmark interest rate unchanged, noting that it expects to raise rates one more time this year.Increases in housing and gasoline prices made up the largest contributors to price movement last month, government data showed.The stubbornness of the price hike data held true for a separate key metric, core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices.Core inflation rose 4.1% in September compared to a year ago, matching the rate demonstrated over the previous month.Despite hotter-than-expected annual inflation, the report holds some good news for the performance of price hikes last month.Consumer prices increased a significant 0.4% in September compared to the previous month, a marked slowdown from the month-over-month inflation rate in August, according to the data released on Thursday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.Mixed signals from the economy in recent weeks have complicated the Fed's effort to bring down inflation while averting a recession, an outcome known as a "soft landing."A rapid rise in U.S. government bond yields over recent weeks has elevated borrowing costs for consumers seeking mortgage loans and corporations pursuing funds to expand their business. The jump in borrowing expenses threatens to slow economic activity in the coming months.However, a blockbuster jobs report on Friday showed that employers added 336,000 jobs in September, exceeding economist expectations by nearly twofold and reversing a monthslong hiring slowdown.The unemployment rate held steady at 3.8%, a historically low figure, government data showed.The robust hiring suggests that businesses remain willing to add workers, despite an aggressive series of interest rate hikes over the past year.The good economic news may pose a difficulty for the Federal Reserve, however, as it tries to cool the economy and slow down price increases.While the breakneck hiring could alarm central bankers, a simultaneous moderation of wage growth shown by the hiring data could alleviate fears of upward pressure placed on prices in the event of a sharp rise in worker pay.Wages increased 4.2% on an annual basis last month, exceeding the inflation rate but falling well below the 6% pace recorded in March, data showed.Despite significant progress over the past year, the Fed remains far from its target inflation rate, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said at a press conference in Washington, D.C., last month."The process of getting inflation sustainably down to 2% has a long way to go," Powell said."Given how far we have come, we're in a position to proceed carefully as we assess the incoming data and the evolving outlook and risks," Powell added.。

二 |     据报道，当地时间周三，德国汽车制造商宝马公司表示，他们将投资17亿美元在美国生产电动汽车，这是一家大型汽车制造商关于提升在美国的电动汽车产量的最新消息。

三 | 宝马集团董事长奥利弗·齐普策（Oliver Zipse）在接受采访的时候表示：“这是迄今为止我们所做的规模最大的单项投资。

四 | ”南卡罗来纳州州长亨利·麦克马斯特（Henry McMaster）在一个仪式上说，宝马的资本投资是该州历史上规模最大的一次。宝马还表示，中国可再生能源集团远景的汽车能源供应公司（AESC）也将在南卡罗来纳州建立一个新的电池芯工厂，年产能达30GWh，该公司将为宝马供应电池芯。这家豪华汽车制造商计划在2030年时，在美国至少生产六款纯电动宝马车型。

五 | 宝马公司表示，他们不会确定停止生产燃气动力汽车的日期，这引起了人们对美国新的电动车税收优惠要求的担忧，该要求旨在要求车企停止使用来自中国的电池部件和矿物。

六 | 齐普策表示，没有一个地区可以完全独立，特别是在电池原材料方面，美国“应该制定一个现实的规定”。他警告说，8月通过的新的7,500美元电动车税收抵免法可能导致多家汽车制造商无法享受优惠政策。他说道：“如果你阻止了行业发展，这将是一场灾难。”宝马表示，其新的电池规格将把能量密度提高20%以上，提高充电速度，并将续航能力提高30%。宝马集团此前已经宣布，将在欧洲和中国增建四个电池芯工厂，以满足其需求。齐普策表示，计划中的第六家电池厂的位置将由市场需求决定。这些由宝马合作伙伴也建设的电池工厂的年产能将达到20GWh。宝马在南卡罗来纳州有30年历史的工厂已经生产了600多万辆汽车，该工厂雇用着超过1.1万名员工，年产量高达45万辆。南卡罗来纳州向斯巴达堡工厂提供了6500万美元的赠款，以协助支付与该项目有关的费用。
