The US consumer price index (CPI) for July is expected to show a moderate increase. This could impact expectations for interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve. The Fed watches inflation closely when deciding on rate changes. If July's CPI rise is modest, it might reduce the likelihood of a rate hike this year. Investors will be watching the CPI data and the Fed's response to it, as rate changes can affect the broader market.
