Inflation Trends Towards Fed Target: Potential Rate Cuts Ahead

By: Movement Staff
June 14, 2024
This week, two key inflation indicators showed lower-than-anticipated increases, suggesting that inflation is trending towards the Federal Reserve's target. The Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.2% month-over-month (0.16% unrounded), which was below the expected 0.3%. Similarly, the Core Producer Price Index (PPI) remained flat month-over-month, against an expectation of a 0.3% increase. Bond yields responded by dropping, with the 10-year Treasury yield falling by 25 basis points.

During their scheduled meeting this week, the Federal Reserve left rates unchanged, indicating the possibility of one to two rate cuts later this year if inflation continues to improve. Upcoming inflation and employment reports will be crucial in determining future rate decisions.
