US inflation cooled off at the wholesale level as businesses’ margins took a big hit in August, new data showed Wednesday. Producer prices unexpectedly fell 0.1% in August, cooling annual inflation to 2.6% from a downwardly revised 3.1% in July, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Helping to drive prices lower was a 1.7% drop in trade services, a category reflective of producers, wholesalers and retailers’ profit margins. If margins are shrinking, it could be an indication that businesses are using those to eat higher costs, economists have said. The trade services category can be highly volatile; however, August’s…

The first of five Supreme Court justices who will decide the fate of the former Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, has found the ex-leader guilty of plotting a coup. But Bolsonaro will only be convicted if at least three out of the five justices find him guilty. Justice Alexandre de Moraes said there was “no doubt” that there had been a coup attempt after Bolsonaro lost the 2022 presidential election to his left-wing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Moraes also said that Bolsonaro had led the “criminal organisation” which he alleged was behind the attempted coup. Bolsonaro has denied all…
A US congressional panel released a redacted copy of an alleged “birthday book” given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 celebrating his fiftieth birthday. The book was released with a trove of documents that include the late convicted paedophile financier’s will and his personal address book – with contacts that include royalty, politicians across the globe, celebrities and models.

Economists had anticipated a large downward revision, but the weaker-then-expected figure bolstered concerns about the health of the world’s largest economy. The Federal Reserve is closely watching for signs of…
