The major economic data release next week will be the May CPI report on Wednesday. Economists forecast a 0.3% month-over-month increase in the core inflation rate and a drop in the year-over-year rate to +3.5% from +3.6%. Seeking Alpha analyst Damir Tokic said that if CPI comes in at the level anticipated, it will fit the recent trend of sticky and elevated inflation. “Thus, the Fed is unable to start lowering interest rates and preventively respond to the sharply slowing economy to avoid a recession,” he warned. Later on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve will issue its policy statement and Jerome Powell will hold a press conference. While the Fed is expected to keep rates at their current level, the latest dot plot and economic projections will give investors a better idea of when the first interest rate cut might be fired off.
