July 10, "Federal Reserve mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos latest article said that a debate brewing within the Federal Reserve on how to deal with the risks posed by Trumps tariffs may end a period of relative unity, and officials may disagree on whether new cost growth is a reason to keep interest rates high. In recent weeks, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell has hinted that the threshold for rate cuts may be lower than it looked this spring, but no rate cuts are expected this month. Instead, Powell described a "middle path": if inflation data is lower than expected or the job market is slightly weak, this may be enough for the Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates by the end of summer. This standard is lower than the previous more stringent threshold-at that time, against the backdrop of more massive tariff increases triggering violent inflation expectations, the Federal Reserve may require more obvious signs of economic deterioration before considering rate cuts. The tariff increase announced by Trump in April exceeded expectations, sparking concerns about stagflation with weakening economic growth and rising prices, disrupting the Federal Reserves plan to resume rate cuts this year. But since then, two developments have driven a possible shift. First, Trump has reduced some of the most extreme tariff increases; second, tariff-related consumer price increases have not yet become a reality. This provides a key test of competing theories about whether tariffs are inflationary and has sparked internal disagreements over how to manage forecast errors.Delin Holdings (01709.HK) rose more than 60%.

Senator Rubio urges that the U.S. FAA evaluate the safety of Russian airlines

Senator Marco Rubio on Thursday demanded that the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) do a safety study of Russian airlines and notify the American people of the hazards presented by Russian-controlled planes still operating in international airspace.


As a result of sanctions placed by Europe, the United States, and others in reaction to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russia's aviation sector has been pushed to curtail flight activities.


Rubio, the leading Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, wrote: "As long as Russian airlines continue such operations, they pose a potential threat to international tourists as well as Russians going domestically."


After being blacklisted, some Russian airlines continued to undertake flights to Beijing, Delhi, and Dubai, among other locations.


The FAA did not immediately react, but in April it lowered Russia's aviation safety rating, alleging violation with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) safety requirements by the country's Federal Agency of Air Transport.


The United States joined the European Union and Canada in barring Russian carriers from American airspace in March.


The top aviation safety body for the European Union voiced "grave worry" on the safety of Western-made aircraft continuing to fly in Russia without access to spare parts and routine maintenance.


Patrick Ky, executive director of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, stated, "This is pretty risky" (EASA) (EASA). According to him, there are reports that Russia will be required to cannibalize planes to keep others flying.


Rubio stated that further teaching from the FAA "about the nature of the possible hazards connected with traveling on airplanes without contemporary components" is urgently necessary.


More than 150 Boeing (NYSE:BA) airplanes flown by Russian airlines were added in March to a list of aircraft thought to contravene U.S. export laws.
