Markets to Focus on Fed's Assessment of Core Inflation -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/07/28 07:500750 GMT - Markets are likely to focus on the Federal Reserve's FOMC's assessment of core inflation since the Fed ended forward guidance after Kevin Warsh became Chair, Fifth Third Commercial Bank's Bill Adams says in a note. "The policy statement will likely lay out another mixed picture of inflation's drivers," the chief U.S. economist says. Good news on inflation comes from relatively tame house prices and rent increases, and from the dissipating impact of 2025's tariff hikes. This is offset by rebounding energy prices as disruptions to Mideast and Russian exports resurface; new tariffs; AI-related pressure on electronics prices; and labor supply bottlenecks pushing up prices of services such as home health care and nursing care, he says.

Morgan Stanley warns: old storage prices are peaking, supply and demand may turn relaxed by 2028
Morgan Stanley pointed out that after the U.S. midterm elections, it is expected that about 20% of the new data center capacity in the United States originally planned for 2028 will be postponed to 2029. This may cause a "gap" in the supply chain in 2028, resulting in the risk of excess inventory of legacy storage. Legacy storage is less bound by long-term fixed price contracts, so a narrowing supply-demand gap could lead to significant price fluctuations. The above analysis refers only to legacy storage, including DDR3/4, SLC/MLC NAND, and NOR flash.
