On August 9, President Joe Biden is anticipated to sign legislation to assist the American semiconductor sector with chip shortages. The bill will assist with chip shortages that have harmed a variety of businesses, including those involving high-tech weaponry, consumer electronics, and vehicles.The package includes a tax credit for investments in chip production as well as more than $52 billion for American companies that make computer chips.

Richmond Federal Reserve Bank Tom Barkin discussed the economy and inflation. “The Fed’s tools work over time, so I expect inflation to come down, but not immediately, not suddenly, and not predictably. I see inflation coming down in three lanes: demand should flatten, supply chains should heal and commodities should settle. The pace of normalization is uncertain, which is understandably unsettling and leads to worries about a recession. We are out of balance today because stimulus-supported excess demand overwhelmed constrained supply. Returning to normal does not require a calamitous decline in activity.”
