DATA AND FORECASTS Fresh Fed forecasts to be published at the close of this month's meeting will show how policymakers as a group expect inflation and unemployment to behave, and whether they like Logan think further tightening is likely to be needed. In June, the last time the Fed published economic projections, two-thirds of Fed policymakers indicated they thought rates would need to rise to above 5.5% by year's end in order to bring inflation down sustainably to the Fed's 2% goal. "It's still an open question as we go forward: Have we got sufficiently restrictive to achieve that," New York Fed President John Williams said on Thursday.

What’s in a name? The query is clearly rhetorical one. Name is more than an amalgamation of words. It can indicate cultural pride, sense of identity and even reclaiming it. It is also not bereft of political connotations. Hours after the Government sent invites to the heads of state for the President’s dinner (for the upcoming G20 summit) in the name of the President of Bharat, rather than the standard President of India, X (formerly Twitter), became a hotbed of political polarisation as well as memes.
