0846 ET - Treasury yields are on pace for a weekly decline following signs of cooling inflation that bolster odds of a Fed hold, not hike, next month. Oil prices edge higher as the supply chain remains choked in the Middle East and the White House threatens Iran with more economic isolation. July retail sales contract 0.6%, following a 0.2% expansion in June. Forecasters expected a 0.1% increase, according to a WSJ consensus. The data reinforce the case for a hold and pushes yields further down alongside the dollar. The WSJ Dollar Index falls 0.4%. The 10-year is at 4.631%, down from 4.640% yesterday. The two-year slips to 4.106% from 4.139%.
