Fed officials say latest inflation data helpful as they await Trump...

Most vegetables are pretty healthy.

Barkin said that while the general thrust of coming fiscal policy seemed clear, the Fed won't know how to react until there are more details. Trump is expected to issue a number of executive orders, some of them related to the economy, as early as Monday, when he begins his second term in the White House. Trump's previous term ended after he lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.

'DIRECTION OF TRAVEL' The economy's momentum and the continued progress on inflation, however, could be tested in coming months depending on how aggressively President-elect Donald Trump follows through on the promises he made during the election campaign to impose massive import tariffs, deport large numbers of unauthorized immigrants, and cut taxes.

With the Fed about to enter a blackout period on public statements ahead of its next meeting, the first opportunity to discuss the possible impact of Trump's initial actions will be Fed Chair Jerome Powell's scheduled Jan. 29 post-meeting press conference.

There was a similar increased risk in men over the age of 60. Women, meanwhile, suffered 12 percent more suicides than their healthy food berlin peers, with those in their 20s at the greatest increased risk of suicide.

The team wrote in a medical journal in the Journal of Surgical Research: 'The impact of a CRC diagnosis on suicide risk, particularly among young adults in the United States, has not been studied to our knowledge. 

The December CPI report "continues the story we have been on, which is that inflation is coming down towards target," Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin told reporters at a Maryland Chamber of Commerce event.

Amid a growing flurry of theories, researchers in North Carolina and Texas have identified common mental health issues in these patients after studying more than 500,000 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). 

Patients with more advanced disease were also twice as likely to commit suicide than those diagnosed at an earlier stage, most likely due to having a poor prognosis and dealing with a greater financial burden. 

'Neanderthals were probably able to speak as we can infer from the morphology of some bones and from inferences we can do of their brain,' Alessia Nava, anthropologist at the University of Rome, told MailOnline. 

ANNAPOLIS, Maryland, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve officials said data released on Wednesday showed U.S. inflation was continuing to ease even as they noted heightened uncertainty in the coming months as they await a first glimpse of the incoming Trump administration's policies. The final read on the Consumer Price Index for 2024, closing out the Biden administration and its battle with a pandemic-related breakout of fast-rising prices, showed price increases excluding food and energy costs eased to 3.2% in December from 3.3% in the prior month. Though headline inflation rose slightly, the so-called core measure is seen as a better gauge of underlying price pressures. With the pace of housing inflation notably in decline, economists expect an upcoming report on the separate Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index for December to be weak, perhaps even falling below the Fed's 2% target.

"The process of disinflation remains in train," New York Fed President John Williams said in prepared remarks at an event in Connecticut. The Fed is expected to hold its benchmark interest rate steady in the current 4.25%-4.50% range at its next policy meeting on Jan. 28-29, after reducing it by a full percentage point in the last three meetings of 2024. At one point a steady series of rate cuts was expected through 2025, but stalled progress in lowering inflation prompted investors and Fed officials to trim their expectations to perhaps one or two quarter-percentage-point reductions in the coming year. An unexpected surge of hiring in December, with more than a quarter of a million jobs added by firms and a drop in the unemployment rate to 4.1%, is likely to also bolster the view that the economy remains healthy, allowing the Fed to pause its rate cuts for now.
