Jeffry Bartash(@jbartash):I asked yesterday: Should the Fed stay or go? July CPI didn't answer the question. Inflation was tame for the 2nd month in a row. Odds of a Fed rate hike fell, but it's not a done deal. Fed will get more jobs & inflation info before mid-September meeting. https://t.co/HMDNrmIVta
