On August 26, President Trump signed Executive Order 14420 declaring a national emergency over the foreign supply of bulk-power system electric equipment, invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the National Emergencies Act. The order can prohibit or condition the purchase and installation of foreign-made transformers, grid-connected inverters, battery storage systems and associated software, citing digital backdoors and supply-chain risks. The White House argues that the rapid growth of data centers and AI has magnified the consequences of any attack on the grid, which supports national defense, emergency services and the economy.
"White House Frames Grid Order as National Security Imperative"
US officials presented the order as a defense against foreign exploitation of grid vulnerabilities, with the Energy Department directed to identify equipment posing undue risk. Utilities warn that forced replacements of transformers and storage could be costly and slow, especially as data-center demand strains the grid.

The Fed's preferred inflation gauge, the personal consumption expenditures price index, rose 0.2% in July to 3.7% year over year, with core PCE up 3.3% — a reading the Cleveland Fed nowcasts at roughly 3.4% for August, keeping inflation well above target six years on. The sticky data, combined with a composite PMI near 56 earlier this month, has complicated the Fed's path: markets now see little room for easing, 30-year Treasury yields have stayed elevated, and the 2% inflation target is described by some strategists as 'losing meaning' after years of misses.
"Traders See Little Room for Easing as Inflation Holds Steady"
US bond traders concluded that sticky core inflation and a re-accelerating economy leave the Federal Reserve little room to cut rates, keeping the 30-year yield elevated even as the Treasury doubles its buyback program. Analysts warn that the gap between the 2% target and realized inflation is eroding credibility in the Fed's inflation anchor.

US gasoline prices have jumped back above $4 a gallon, putting renewed pressure on inflation and consumers, while hedge funds have slashed bearish bets on European diesel to a multi-year low and added fresh bullish wagers on a fuels crunch. The US Treasury's widened sanctions on Iran's trading partners add a new source of disruption risk to an already tight market.
"Higher Oil Tests the Fed and the Consumer at Once"
US policymakers face a difficult trade-off: strong growth argues against easing, but rising energy prices threaten to re-accelerate inflation just as gasoline tops $4 a gallon.
