▸ US stocks fall after sur­vey sug­gests con­sumers are nervous on infla­tion

▸ Dol­lar declines against peers and yield on two-year Treas­ur­ies rises slightly

▸ Fed’s Septem­ber interest rate decision remains ‘finely bal­anced’, say ana­lysts

US stocks slipped from record highs as a closely watched sur­vey sug­ges­ted that con­sumers in the world's biggest eco­nomy are grow­ing increas­ingly nervous about infla­tion.

The blue-chip S&P 500 and the tech­heavy Nas­daq Com­pos­ite fell 0.2 per cent and 0.5 per cent respect­ively yes­ter­day, after the Uni­versity of Michigan's con­sumer sen­ti­ment index declined for the first time in four months. Con­sumers' year-ahead infla­tion expect­a­tions rose from 4.5 per cent to 4.9 per cent.

On Thursday, sep­ar­ate data showed that US whole­sale prices jumped 3.3 per cent in July — far above June's 2.4 per cent annual gain and the 2.5 per cent rise expec­ted by eco­nom­ists — in the latest sign that Pres­id­ent Don­ald Trump's extens­ive tar­iffs are seep­ing through to the Amer­ican eco­nomy.
