The S&P 500 hit a fresh record high as softer US jobs and inflation data pushed Fed rate hike expectations lower and gave investors another reason to celebrate. Yet inflation remains elevated, July’s improvement was partly driven by falling oil prices, and renewed Middle East tensions could quickly revive energy-driven price pressures.
