At 8:30 a.m. ET, the June US CPI figures are released; markets are keeping a close eye on whether headline inflation drops from May's 0.5% m/m rate and core CPI holds steady near 0.2% m/m. These numbers will straightaway affect predictions for the Federal Reserve's next actions and fuel fast volatility across currencies, equities, bonds, and crypto. May's year-over-year figures—headline inflation at 4.2% and core at 2.9%—set the foundation for the comparison of today.
Rising 3.9% m/m, energy was the main driver in the May print; food grew 0.2% and housing climbed 0.3%. New vehicle sales dropped 0.3% and medical supplies decreased 0.7%, emphasizing unequal pricing pressures across sectors for core products. Today's ingredients will be examined by traders to see whether the recent rise in energy is either slowing or continuing.
A hotter-than-expected CPI print would most certainly help the dollar and push yields upward while depressing risk assets. A milder result, on the other hand, would allay fears of rate increases and foster risk-on sentiment all across markets. The m/m variations in headline and core are still the main focus to define USD's short-term course and world risk appetite.
