May Inflation Report Clashes With Fed Meeting: Traders Brace For Volatile Wednesday
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The May CPI report and the FOMC meeting are set to occur on the same day, potentially causing market volatility. April's data showed easing inflation, aligning with forecasts. Economists expect the headline annual inflation rate to hold steady at 3.4%, with core inflation at 3.6%. The report will influence the Fed's stance on interest rates, with a softer reading supporting potential rate cuts. Previous CPI reports have triggered rallies in stocks, bonds, gold, and speculative assets.
