Today the consumer price index was released for the month of May. Inflation came in at 1% month over month with the expectation of coming in at 0.7%
Less food and energy items (Core Inflation) came in at 0.6% with the expectations of coming in at 0.5%
Inflation increased 8.6% over the year for all items.
Many people were hoping that we saw a peak in last month's CPI report for April but with this data we see no evidence of a peak. This is going to cause the Federal Reserve to take a more aggressive approach against inflation in their next meeting on June 15th. Coming off this information, the market had a good sell off as people didn't like what the CPI report consisted of. We can also expect that the Fed will be going through with a 50 basis point rate right in their next meeting.

Overall the report was not good.

Please stop by the channel on June 15th after the FOMC meeting. I will be making a video covering the main points of that meeting. In the meeting they will be discussing their actions while considering this report so be sure to stop by!
