A key inflation reading Wednesday showed prices moderating across a range of goods and services, possibly taking the urgency out of an imminent interest rate hike.<\/p>\n

The consumer price index, part of the Federal Reserve’s inflation dashboard, showed a seasonally adjusted increase of 0.1% during July, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Excluding food and energy, so-called core CPI rose 0.2%.<\/p>\n

On an annual basis, the inflation rates were 3.4% and 2.5%.<\/p>\n

All of the readings were line with the Dow Jones consensus forecasts.<\/p>\n

Though the levels held well above the Fed’s 2% target, the tame monthly readings, coupled with similarly moderate levels in June, indicate that the energy-fueled burst earlier in the year is easing, though prices remain volatile and subject to constantly changing conditions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Stock market futures rose following the release while Treasury yields were negative across the board.<\/p>\n
