On August 28th, Boston Federal Reserve President Collins stated that if future data shows inflation falling less than expected, she might support a rate hike at the Fed's next meeting. She noted this week that if clear evidence of sustained inflation improvement is not seen, further tightening of policy "soon" might be appropriate. When asked if "soon" meant the next one or two meetings, Collins frankly admitted, "Possibly, yes." Collins believes the July inflation report generally met her expectations. While core inflation was slightly higher than expected, the data was "more encouraging" after excluding items whose prices are difficult to observe directly. She still expects inflation to gradually cool even without a rate hike. She also revealed that her latest forecast, submitted in June, is for interest rates to remain unchanged until the end of the year, and she believes the current interest rate level has a "mildly restrictive" effect on the economy.

August 28th - According to The Information, citing sources familiar with the matter, Anthropic is considering allowing existing shareholders to sell some of their existing shares during the IPO, unlike large tech companies such as SpaceX (SPCX.O) which do not allow shareholders to sell shares in their IPOs. This move could allow early investors, executives, and employees to cash in some of their paper wealth.

The IPO could take place as early as late September or early October, but the timing could still be delayed.

On August 28, according to a report by Iran's Mehr News Agency on the 27th, the intelligence agency of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement saying that, based on an assessment of political, economic, social, and military developments over the past 60 days, the enemy is increasingly employing cognitive and intelligence warfare tactics to adjust its strategy against Iran. The statement said that these actions mainly include downplaying the importance of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran's national security, weakening the influence of the "Resistance Front," strengthening the maritime blockade against Iran, and amplifying domestic contradictions, economic weaknesses, and social discontent to weaken its internal cohesion. The statement also said that Iran is currently strengthening its national resilience, maintaining asymmetric warfare capabilities, and continuously controlling the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is no longer in a passive state of responding to external attacks, but is seeking to enhance its strategic initiative.
