Inflation Data Likely to Keep Fed Hawkish -- Market Talk

Dow Jones21:29

0929 ET - U.S. inflation meets expectations, but moves in the wrong direction and could keep the Fed hawkish. Monthly May CPI slips to 0.5% from 0.6%, but the 12-month reading accelerates to 4.2% from 3.8%. Energy was the main driver, as the war keeps global supply chains under pressure. Still, core CPI ticks higher to 2.9% year-over-year from 2.8%. Odds of a Fed hike "are greater than those of a cut in the coming months," AllianceBernstein's Eric Winograd says in a note, adding his base case is for a prolonged hold. Treasury yields rise after a brief drop following the CPI data. The 10-year is at 4.53%, up from 4.52% earlier. (paulo.trevisani@wsj.com; @ptrevisani)
