According to Odaily Planet Daily, most analysts expect the US core CPI to increase by 0.3% month-over-month in July, while Jefferies Group predicts a 0.246% increase, which seems unusual. Jefferies said it does not expect prices for furniture, clothing, and entertainment items to continue to rise in July. Despite tariff pressure, used car prices remained largely unchanged, though seasonal adjustments may reflect a slight decline. Meanwhile, Jefferies expects the overall CPI to increase by 0.172% month-over-month, below the market expectation of 0.2%. While this difference may appear small given rounding, Jefferies believes there may be downside risks to the CPI report. Airfares remain a volatile factor, and if basic economy fares remain unchanged, seasonal adjustments could still result in a 2.5% increase in airfares. If this does not happen, the month-over-month growth rate of the overall CPI in July could fall to 0.1%. (Jinshi)

According to Odaily Planet Daily, SlowMist founder Yu Xian commented on the Monero 51% attack on the X platform, saying, "It's very interesting that the Qubic mining pool used economic incentive game theory to complete the 51% attack verification against Monero XMR (I believe the starting point was not malicious). This is the theory of $300 million (QUBIC market value) leveraging $5 billion (Monero market value) becoming a reality."

Experts predict that overall US inflation will rise in July as tariff-induced price pressures become more pronounced. Economists expect the Consumer Price Index to rise 2.8% year-on-year, with the core CPI to edge up to 3.0%.
