进击的巨人

一 | 8月26日讯新赛季德甲即将开战，各队主帅在德国新闻社在一项调查中给出了新赛季的冠军预测。 Consumer prices rose 3.7% in September compared to a year ago, holding steady from the previous month and running hotter than economists had expected.While inflation has fallen significantly from a peak of about 9% last summer, price increases remain more than a percentage point higher than the Fed's inflation target.The data arrives roughly three weeks before the Fed plans to make its latest rate-hike decision. Last month, the Fed left its benchmark interest rate unchanged, noting that it expects to raise rates one more time this year.Increases in housing and gasoline prices made up the largest contributors to price movement last month, government data showed.The stubbornness of the price hike data held true for a separate key metric, core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices.Core inflation rose 4.1% in September compared to a year ago, matching the rate demonstrated over the previous month.Despite hotter-than-expected annual inflation, the report holds some good news for the performance of price hikes last month.Consumer prices increased a significant 0.4% in September compared to the previous month, a marked slowdown from the month-over-month inflation rate in August, according to the data released on Thursday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.Mixed signals from the economy in recent weeks have complicated the Fed's effort to bring down inflation while averting a recession, an outcome known as a "soft landing."A rapid rise in U.S. government bond yields over recent weeks has elevated borrowing costs for consumers seeking mortgage loans and corporations pursuing funds to expand their business. The jump in borrowing expenses threatens to slow economic activity in the coming months.However, a blockbuster jobs report on Friday showed that employers added 336,000 jobs in September, exceeding economist expectations by nearly twofold and reversing a monthslong hiring slowdown.The unemployment rate held steady at 3.8%, a historically low figure, government data showed.The robust hiring suggests that businesses remain willing to add workers, despite an aggressive series of interest rate hikes over the past year.The good economic news may pose a difficulty for the Federal Reserve, however, as it tries to cool the economy and slow down price increases.While the breakneck hiring could alarm central bankers, a simultaneous moderation of wage growth shown by the hiring data could alleviate fears of upward pressure placed on prices in the event of a sharp rise in worker pay.Wages increased 4.2% on an annual basis last month, exceeding the inflation rate but falling well below the 6% pace recorded in March, data showed.Despite significant progress over the past year, the Fed remains far from its target inflation rate, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said at a press conference in Washington, D.C., last month."The process of getting inflation sustainably down to 2% has a long way to go," Powell said."Given how far we have come, we're in a position to proceed carefully as we assess the incoming data and the evolving outlook and risks," Powell added.。调查显示，夺冠最大热门依然来自拜仁，但也有2名教练给出了不同的答案，而且不是多特。

二 | 最大胆的预测来自帕德博恩主帅拉尔夫·凯特曼，在被问及下赛季德甲冠军时，他回答：“斯图加特。”共有11位主帅将孔帕尼执教的拜仁视为德甲夺冠的头号热门，另有6名主帅未作明确表态、回答含糊或未正面回应问题。霍芬海姆主帅伊尔泽表示：“拜仁依然拥有最顶级的个人能力和最深厚的板凳，在34轮的漫长联赛中，他们会赢下最多的比赛，勒沃库森和多特则会咬得很紧，但在我看来，最终的冠军还是拜仁。
