Inflation Sticks Around: Energy Drops Won’t Cure Core Price Pressures

Even if June consumer prices dip thanks to cheaper gas, the broader inflation picture remains stubborn. Core inflation, driven by services and wages, has stayed elevated, and tariffs plus AI-related spending—data-center power, memory chips, and software—are pushing costs higher. Housing inflation has cooled only slowly, while war-related demand and disrupted supply chains could sustain price pressures for years, making a quick return to normal inflation unlikely and leaving the Fed far from its 2% target for the foreseeable future.

Anthropic Braces for AI-Cost Backlash Ahead of IPO

Anthropic filed for a pre-IPO and faces rising concern from corporate buyers over AI spending, as Bain’s survey shows limited cost savings from AI and executives warn that enterprises may switch to cheaper models. Anecdotes of a CFO spending half a billion on Claude in one month underscore the price sensitivity. While Anthropic is enjoying rapid revenue growth and a profitable quarter, the risk is that demand for its costly enterprise AI could wane just as it seeks public funding, particularly as OpenAI and others push competitive pressure in the AI race.

Dell's AI Investments Impact Profits but Boost Server Sales

Dell's shares fell over 17% after the company forecasted lower-than-expected current-quarter profit and indicated that higher costs for AI-optimized servers would reduce its annual margin. Despite a surge in demand for AI-capable products and a significant increase in shipments of AI-optimized servers, Dell's adjusted gross margin rate is expected to decline due to inflationary input costs and competitive pricing. The company raised its revenue forecast for fiscal 2025 but expects a decline in adjusted profit per share for the current quarter.
