Why Trump is an 'unusual candidate' when it comes to polls
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump engaged in their first presidential debate on Tuesday, addressing a range of national issues. To analyze the debate's impact, UBS Global Wealth Management Co-Lead of ElectionWatch Tom McLoughlin joins Catalysts. McLoughlin notes that the debate provided Vice President Harris an opportunity to reach undecided voters, but questions the lasting effect of this exposure. He identifies the key issues influencing undecided voters as reproductive rights, US-Mexico border policies, and economic concerns, particularly around inflation. Regarding post-debate polling and overall election cycle trends, McLoughlin highlights a unique challenge in interpreting poll data. "One of the issues with polling is that Donald Trump brings out people that have not voted or will never vote in any of the elections, but will vote for the former president." He states this makes Trump an "unusual candidate" and complicates the accuracy of traditional polling methods.

US consumer prices ease, but core inflation still sticky
STORY: U.S. inflation data released on Wednesday showed consumer prices easing overall, keeping the Federal Reserve on track to start cutting interest rates this month.The Labor Department's consumer price index ticked up slightly in August.Year-on-year, consumer prices rose 2.5%, the smallest annual rise since February 2021.Grocery prices were unchanged from the prior month, while energy costs, including gasoline, electricity and natural gas, all dropped.But the so-called core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose slightly more than expected.That was mostly due to high rents and other housing costs, showing that underlying inflation remained sticky.That could discourage the Federal Reserve from delivering a larger, half-point interest rate cut when the central bank holds its policy meeting next week.The odds of a smaller quarter-point cut rose to 85%, jumping about 15% after the report's release, according to CME's FedWatch Tool.The mixed inflation report followed data last week that showed the labor market was still cooling in an orderly fashion, helping to reduce the risk of inflation reigniting.

The food packaging tricks we all fall for
Those oranges in the supermarket may not be as orange as you think. A recent article in the scientific journal Perception reveals how the red netting bag they come in can make even green fruit appear orange, in an optical illusion known as the “confetti effect”. The vivid yellow netting on lemons does the same job of intensifying the citrus’s colour to make it more alluring. Out of the bags, the fruit will seem less vivid and, yes, possibly even tinged with green.

A federal judge in Washington has struck down a decision by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to prohibit a company from offering what amounts to bets on the outcome of Congressional elections. Last Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Jia Cobb ruled in favor of New York-based Kalshi, but did not detail her reasoning.
