Trump Tariff War Can Push the US CPI Inflation Higher
Bloomberg analysts estimate that US consumers could see a likely faster inflation in May, as uncertainties with the Trump tariff war force businesses to pass higher import duties to consumers gradually.
The Bloomberg economists also stated that the cost of goods and services, excluding volatile categories like food and energy, increased by 0.3% in May, the largest in four months, following a 0.2% uptick in April, according to the core consumer price index.
Source: BloombergFurthermore, the core inflation numbers are likely to accelerate to 2.9% annually, while marking the first increase this year. Upcoming US CPI reports on Wednesday, followed by producer price (PPI) data on Thursday, will give Federal Reserve officials a clear picture of inflation trends and the impact of higher tariffs ahead of the crucial June 17-18 policy meeting. If actual inflation numbers come higher, the chances of Fed Rate cuts could probably fade.
