U.S. inflation accelerated further during the spring as higher tariffs, rising energy costs linked to geopolitical tensions and heavy investment in artificial intelligence added to price pressures, according to the Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy report to Congress, Reuters reported.
The report said inflation remains above the U.S. central bank's 2% target, with the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, running at roughly twice that level as of May. The findings underscore the central bank's continued struggle to bring inflation back to target despite holding interest rates steady since December.
At the same time, the Fed said the labour market has largely stabilised, with labour demand and supply broadly in balance. The unemployment rate stood at 4.2% in June, while job openings have remained largely unchanged and layoffs have stayed subdued.

The US Supreme Court has preserved the independence of the Federal Reserve Board, for now, but by the narrowest of margins.
In a 5-4 decision, the court’s majority ruled that Fed governor Lisa Cook – whom Donald Trump had purported to sack on the basis of allegations of mortgage fraud – could remain on the board until the allegations had been tested and Cook given the opportunity to defend herself.
The judgment – and a concurrent ruling that a president has complete authority over every other government agency – confirms the unique status of the US central bank, which Chief Justice John Roberts rightly described as one of America’s and the world’s most important financial institutions.
Legal and labor experts say Trump v Slaughter decision upends settled constitutional law in favor of ‘loyalty test’
As a reality TV show host, Donald Trump rose to fame with the catchphrase: “You’re fired!”. On Monday, the US supreme court handed him – and all future presidents – the power to fire leaders of independent agencies or commissions, overturning 90 years of court precedent curbing executive power.
While Trump celebrated the decision on Truth Social as a “big win”, labor advocates, unions, and consumer advocacy groups criticized the supreme court decision on the case, Trump v Slaughter, and warned of the long-term impacts for democracy in the US. Rebecca Slaughter, the Federal Trade Commissioner fired last March, said she was “profoundly disappointed about today’s decision” during a press call.
The Federal Reserve, under pressure from President Donald Trump to cut interest rates and bend to his will, just got an important assist from the U.S. Supreme Court.
In Trump v. Cook, the justices took up the case involving Trump’s decision to terminate Lisa Cook, a member of the powerful policymaking Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. On June 29, 2026, Cook and the Fed prevailed. In a 5-4 opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court upheld a lower court’s decision to keep Cook in her role while her case proceeds on whether she was terminated “for cause.”

A US judge has ordered the removal of President Donald Trump's name from the title of the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts.

Mr Trump said on social media he would work with Congress on transferring ownership of the centre, though it was not immediately clear how the directive would be carried out.

US President Donald Trump has threatened to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell if he does not step aside at the end of his term in May.
The two have been embroiled in a bitter spat over Powell's reluctance to cut the central bank's interest rate, despite Trump's repeated calls.
Powell's term expires on 15 May, but he is planning to remain in post until his successor, Kevin Warsh, is confirmed by the Senate.
"Then I'll have to fire him," Trump told Fox Business, when asked about Powell's plans to stay on in the job.
"I've held back firing him. I've wanted to fire him, but I hate to be controversial," Trump said.

Everyone wants a piece of Sydney right now, and The Sun has bombshell insider knowledge that reveals the truth about the couple’s struggles as countless men compete for her attention.
