Inflation in January was both hot and cold Today''s newsletter is by Myles Udland, senior markets editor at Yahoo Finance. Follow him on Twitter @MylesUdland and on LinkedIn. Read this and more market news on the go with the Yahoo Finance App. Consumer prices rose both faster and slower in January. All that matters is where you draw the line. On Tuesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics'' Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January showed prices rose 0.5% over the prior month to start 2023 and 6.4% over last year on a headline basis. The monthly increase in headline CPI showed the fastest increase in consumer prices since Oct. 2022; the annual increase marked the slowest increase in prices since Oct. 2021. On a "core" basis — which strips out food and energy — prices rose 0.4% over last month and 5.6% over last year. This monthly increase marked the fastest rise in core prices since Sept. 2022; the annual increase was the slowest pace of increases since Dec. 2021. In a word, January''s inflation data was good. In two words, not good. Of course, the reason investors care so much about inflation is because of what this report may or may not mean for the Federal Reserve. In the case of Tuesday''s data, this report suggests another 0.25% increase in the Fed''s benchmark interest rate is a near certainty next month. And the likelihood of further action in May just went up, too. "In our view, inflation is still set to grind lower, but the process is likely to be bumpy and take time," wrote Wells Fargo economists Sarah House and Michael Pugliese. "Despite some directional improvement over the past couple of quarters, prices are still growing well-above the Fed''s 2% target, and the tight labor market suggests that there are still inflationary pressures that could forestall a full return to 2% inflation. We continue to look for the FOMC to raise the fed funds rate by another 25 bps at both the March and May meetings and to hold the target range at 5.00%-5.25% through the year''s end to ensure that high inflation will be quelled for good." Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, wrote Tuesday, "this report won''t change anyone''s mind about the inflation picture; both hawks and doves will find something to highlight." For the hawks, continued firming in rent prices was the star on Tuesday. "Housing accounted for roughly half of the total increase in the CPI, which won’t sit well with the Fed," Ryan Sweet, Chief US Economist. "Rental prices were up 0.7% in January. Though market rents have rolled over, it takes roughly a year for that to feed into the CPI." For the doves, the balance of services inflation that excludes rent — or about 60% of that basket — rose at an annualized rate of 1.5% in January, per data from Bespoke Investment Group. In other words, excluding housing, "core" inflation is running below the Fed''s target. So while every piece of economic data is available for the kinds of fine-toothed examinations that render firm conclusions elusive, January''s CPI report stands as uniquely — and perhaps divisively — open for for interpretation. "In our view, there is not a lot of new information in this report," wrote Michael Gapen, an economist at Bank of America Global Research. And for markets eager to re-write the status quo with each new piece of data that crosses the wire, there is perhaps no greater challenge than seeing more of the same.
可以试试微习惯，比如给自己定一个每天看一页之类的很小的目标，启动的心理压力小，而你一旦开始看大部分时候不会只看一页
英语新闻提高不了啥英语水平，特别是财经新闻，太大白话了
听audible可能更有用？
国内英文专业毕业，初中英语老师，看了无数的英文小说，来美国看新闻超级费劲，更听不懂
握手，我也是 Fiction 要求的词汇量大。我只学过gre Toefl 词汇，看文献可以，看小说还真的不够。
这个国内水校英文系毕业的吧

很羡慕能用audible的人. 我看书很习惯, 但是听却很难听下去, 可能还是英语听力不够好
对，我感觉第一有词汇的gap，第二有文化的gap，第三个越上年纪越看不进fiction，中学还愿意看看中英对照的简爱傲慢与偏见之类的，大了之后中文的fiction也看不进去，可能熟透了没有那些fantasy了
听力看新闻，写作看报纸！
楼主目的是提高英语水平, 做这些多半可以达到目的. 但是如果能获得享受就更好了. 个人体会, 大部头的书(不管是小说还是非小说) 能带来的享受都是新闻报纸论坛上那些文章所取代不了的
白话有啥不好的，你平时工作生活不用白话？
想要文笔好，可以看new yorker。但小说文笔，平时真的用不上。
the godfather太老了，你真学会了，说出来的都是50年前的英语，年轻人都未必明白你在说啥。
好奇一下什么小说
意识流短篇小说集。。
刚来吧。半年后要是还听不懂，那就是学校太差了。
挑那些读的清晰的听

要想英文过关，就要下苦工背单词。背够一万五，就豁然开朗了。背够20000基本就母语感觉了。
权力的游戏，只看了第一册，还有5册在积灰。。。
因为大白话提高不了英文水平啊。一开始是有个飞跃期，结果现在差不多看这种大白话新闻能一目十行了，so what，好的英文该不会还是不会
