Version 1.32 (2024-07-11 14:00:03.664000)

updates: US inflation cooled in June, driven by a slowdown in housing costs. The consumer price index (CPI) rose 3.0% from a year ago, lower than the consensus forecast of 3.1%. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy inputs, climbed 0.1% from May, the smallest advance since August 2021. The year-over-year measure rose 3.3%, the slowest pace in over three years. The overall CPI fell 0.1% from the prior month, the first decline since the onset of the pandemic. These figures suggest that inflation has resumed its downward trend and economic activity is slowing. The Federal Reserve is likely to cut interest rates later this year, with traders seeing a rate cut in September as the most likely scenario. The latest inflation readings could convince the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. If inflation remains low through the summer, economists expect the Fed to begin cutting its benchmark rate in September. However, the costs of food, rent, health care, and other necessities remain higher than before the pandemic. Shelter prices climbed 0.2%, the smallest gain since August 2021. Services prices fell for a second month, excluding housing and energy. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, which draws from the CPI, is trending closer to the Fed's 2% target. Delta Air Lines Inc's revenue projections came in weaker than forecast. Prices of new vehicles declined for a sixth month. Consumers are growing increasingly sensitive to higher prices. Real earnings growth has been positive for the past year.

The year-over-year measure rose 3.3%, the slowest pace in over three years. The overall CPI fell 0.1% from the prior month, the first decline since the onset of the pandemic. Recurring applications for jobless benefits held near the highest level since late 2021. First-time filings fell by 17,000 last week, providing some optimism for the job market. Chair Jerome Powell avoided signaling the timing of likely rate cuts.

Version 1.25 (2024-07-11 12:57:45.186000)

updates: US consumer prices fell 0.1% in June, the first month-on-month decline since May 2020. The annual rate of inflation dropped to 3% from 3.3% in May. The decline was driven by falling gas prices and a drop in new and used car prices. The core Consumer Price Index, which excludes energy and food prices, rose 0.1% from May, its slowest pace since August 2021, bringing the annual rate of core inflation to 3.3% from 3.4%. US stock futures rose on the news as investors hope it will lead to the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates. Dow futures rose 80 points, S&P 500 futures were 0.3% higher, and Nasdaq futures rose 0.3%. US Treasury yields fell, which could benefit consumers with lower mortgage and credit card rates.

Version 0.68 (2024-06-13 14:57:26.852000)

updates: The US producer prices unexpectedly declined in May by the most in seven months, with the producer price index (PPI) for final demand decreasing 0.2% from the previous month. The decline in the May PPI for goods was largely due to lower gasoline costs, and goods prices overall decreased 0.8%. Several categories in the PPI report used to calculate the Fed's preferred inflation measure, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, were softer in May compared to the previous month. Costs of processed goods for intermediate demand, which reflect prices earlier in the production pipeline, decreased 1.5%, the most since the end of 2022, largely due to plunging energy costs.

Version 0.67 (2024-06-13 14:57:10.786000)

updates: The Labor Department reported that US wholesale prices fell 0.2% from April to May, indicating a potential easing of inflation pressures. This comes as the Federal Reserve considers reducing interest rates. The producer price index, which tracks inflation before it reaches consumers, was pulled down by a 7.1% drop in gasoline prices. Wholesale prices rose by 2.2% compared to the same period last year. Excluding food and energy costs, core producer prices remained the same as in April and were up 2.3% from May 2023. Consumer inflation remained at 6.7%, above the Fed's 2% target. The May PCE price index is expected to barely rise. Despite inflation easing, essentials such as groceries, rent, and healthcare remain significantly more expensive than three years ago. The US economy remains robust, with low unemployment rates and strong economic growth forecasted.
