在8月非農公佈之前，9月議息會議曾經有一個兩難情形：非農低迷甚至負增長，CPI維持高位。通脹高企爲加息提供依據，但是在連續兩月低迷非農（尤其是連續負增長）的情況下加息將引發很大的爭議。 在市場和頂級投行都不看好的情況下，8月非農意外兩位數增長，爲9月加息排除了一道障礙。正如美聯儲理事沃勒昨天所說的“9月是否加息取決於8月CPI”，非農已經不干擾加息判斷了，9月的CPI數據幾乎等同於是否加息的決定票。

美聯儲理事沃勒：財政部的事務由財政部自行處理。

Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce and five other municipal departments issued a Work Implementation Plan to improve home-care service quality and promote healthy development of the domestic service industry. The plan promotes digital-intelligent home-care scenarios and calls for accelerating development of home-service platforms that use big data and AI for user profiling, precision delivery and follow-up evaluation to enable precise supply-demand matching. It directs home-service companies to fast-track digital transformation to raise operational and service efficiency and meet more personalized, diversified demand. The plan explicitly encourages platforms and related firms to speed R&D and innovation in elderly-care robots, emotional companion robots, smart wearable devices and health-monitoring equipment, and to pilot human–machine collaboration models to better cover elderly and child caregiving needs.
