On June 10, U.S. CPI data for May showed that inflation soared to a three-year high, but the moderate rise in core prices eased Wall Street's concerns about interest rate hikes. Today's CPI data and tomorrow's PPI index are expected to influence the Federal Reserve's policy stance, which will be announced at the Fed meeting chaired by Waller for the first time in a week. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, before the CPI inflation data was released, the market had anticipated a 70% probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates by the end of 2026. However, the market believes that it is almost impossible for the Fed to raise rates at next week's meeting, with only a 13% probability for a rate hike in July. In the short term, the focus is on whether the Federal Reserve will clearly shift from a dovish stance to a neutral or hawkish stance at the upcoming meeting. This week's CPI and PPI inflation data, along with the progress of U.S.-Iran negotiations, may influence the balance between neutrality and tightening.

On June 10, it was reported that in May, the rate of increase in consumer prices in the United States reached its fastest level in three years. The conflict in the Middle East has driven up gasoline and other energy prices, providing further justification for the Federal Reserve to maintain interest rates unchanged until 2027. Data released on Wednesday showed that for the 12-month period ending in May, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 4.2% year-on-year, marking the largest increase since April 2023. Compared to the previous month, prices increased by 0.5%, following a 0.6% rise in April. The CPI has seen significant increases for three consecutive months, highlighting the growing pressure on households, as there are signs that more consumers are tapping into their savings to cover expenses. Additionally, the inflation rate has exceeded wage growth for the second consecutive month, which could adversely affect overall economic growth. Meanwhile, the sharp rise in the cost of living poses a significant political burden for President Trump and his party, as they seek to maintain control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections in November.
