Inflation cools more than expected! U.S. July PPI growth narrows to 4.7%, driven primarily by lower energy costs

The U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) remained flat month-on-month in July, with the year-on-year rate declining to 4.7%. The core PPI fell to 4.2% year-on-year, primarily driven by lower energy prices and a slowdown in service price inflation. The widening divergence between the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the PPI is putting pressure on corporate profit margins. Market expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate hikes remain unchanged, with the view that there is limited urgency for short-term policy adjustments. Future inflation trends will continue to depend on changes in energy prices.

Express News | The proportion of staked Ethereum has risen to a record high of 34.7%, while the staking yield has slightly declined to 2.6%.

On August 13, data from Staking Rewards showed that the proportion of staked Ethereum reached a new all-time high, with approximately 41.89 million ETH currently staked, accounting for 34.7% of Ethereum's total supply. The corresponding market value of staked assets is approximately $78.56 billion. The current staking yield stands at around 2.6%, having recently decreased by 0.49 percentage points, with roughly 789,000 active validators on the network. The staking ratio has continued to climb in recent periods, rising by about 0.77%, while the network inflation rate has dropped to approximately 0.86%. An increasing amount of ETH is being locked into the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, concurrently tightening the circulating supply. Staking rewards for ETH primarily derive from consensus layer issuances, priority fees, and Maximal Extractable Value (MEV); however, as the total staked volume increases, the yield per validator is diluted.
