Investors will focus on the CPI and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision
Investors will focus their attention on June 12 when the US CPI is released. In a general reading it is expected to remain at 3.4%, although year-on-year it is expected to be 0.1% compared to the previous 0.3%. In relation to the underlying reading that excludes food and energy, 0.3% is expected in its interannual reading and 3.5% in the general one. Later, the Federal Reserve will make its interest rate decision public. In a context where an improvement is observed in the labor market in the short term, inflation has not reached the objectives desired by the Central Bank. The market consensus does not expect surprises and estimates that the Federal Reserve will maintain the interest rate at 5.5%.
