August inflation ran hotter than expected, with CPI up 0.4% month-over-month and 2.9% year-over-year, while core held at 3.1%. Jobless claims jumped the same morning, underscoring a cooling labor market. Bitcoin fell about 0.5% on the release. Traders still expect a quarter-point Fed cut next week, but the path after that looks murkier as services and energy costs keep pressure on prices.

Banks are now leveraging tech to improve customer experience, speed up services, and reduce overhead costs. This transition isn't just a trend, it's becoming the new normal. I believe we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg, and the future of banking will be deeply intertwined with technology.
