Quick Glance: Workplace Anxiety Driving Productivity
  • Professor Jeremy Siegel of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania suggests that fear of layoffs has actually contributed to the increase in productivity.

  • Productivity has surged, partially due to workers' fear of being laid off, according to Professor Siegel.

  • Professor Siegel anticipates this productivity surge to continue, partially supported by advancements in artificial intelligence.

  • Siegel is disappointed in the Fed's lack of attention to productivity in the macroeconomic environment, and believes this will result in another pause from the Fed in December unless something extraordinary happens in the coming weeks.

Quick Glance: US inflation rises in July due to housing costs
  • Inflation has decreased in the US since last year.

  • The rate of inflation was 3.2% over the year to July, driven by higher housing, car insurance, and food costs, according to the Labor Department.

  • Analysts had expected the increase in the overall inflation rate, following relatively weak price increases last July.

  • Many analysts expect housing costs, which are heavily weighted in US inflation calculations, to decrease in the coming months based on independent reports of a slowdown in rental rate growth.
