0528 GMT - If the U.S. inflation run-up is relatively contained, the Federal Reserve will likely be able to look through the data and avoid hiking interest rates this year, Russell Investments' BeiChen Lin says ahead of the June U.S. CPI release. "Many of the inflation drivers that were present in 2022 are absent today," the senior investment strategist says. "And with energy prices having come down significantly from the conflict level peak, we do not expect inflation to reach the levels it reached in 2022," he says. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
