US CPI falls for first time since 2020, core indicator stays flat.

57 minutes ago

U.S. consumer prices fell for the first time in six years in June, while a key gauge of underlying inflation was flat, easing pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. According to data released Tuesday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropped 0.4% from May and rose 3.5% year-over-year. The core index, excluding food and energy, was unchanged from May and rose 2.6% year-over-year. The report noted that as the most severe period of energy price shocks from Iran-related tensions began to subside, falling gasoline prices in June provided some relief for consumers. Ahead of the Fed’s meeting at the end of this month, officials are likely to welcome the data; however, renewed U.S.-Iran hostilities have pushed oil prices higher again, which could prolong the inflationary impact of the conflict. U.S. stock index futures rose and Treasury yields fell as investors scaled back bets on a July Fed rate hike. The data showed core inflation was restrained, mainly due to falling prices of goods such as apparel and used cars, while auto insurance premiums also dropped sharply.

Analyst: CPI data leans dovish, dashing expectations of a July rate hike by the Fed.

Analyst Justin McQueen said that after Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller delivered a hawkish speech on Monday, hinting he would support a near-term interest rate hike if core CPI came in strong, U.S. June inflation data released on Tuesday sent a clear dovish signal. The data showed core CPI was flat month-over-month, below market expectations of a 0.2% rise; the year-over-year increase stood at 2.6%, also missing forecasts. This outcome has significantly reduced the urgency for the Federal Reserve to raise rates further in the short term. In terms of market pricing, expectations for a July rate hike have cooled notably. The implied probability of a July rate hike in interest rate markets has fallen to around 15%, almost back to the level before Waller’s speech, meaning investors have nearly ruled out a July rate hike. While this does not mean the possibility of further policy tightening within the year has completely vanished, the threshold for the Fed to raise rates again has risen significantly. Analysts believe that unless the Middle East situation escalates, disrupting energy supplies again and driving a sharp rise in oil prices to reignite inflationary pressures, the Fed is more likely to keep rates steady for the coming period, with the likelihood of a near-term rate hike having dropped sharply.
