    June Inflation Cools to 3.5%; Eases Fed Tightening Fears

    Question

    June Inflation Cools to 3.5%; Eases Fed Tightening Fears

    Direct answer

    The 3.5% YoY inflation print for June has provided a tailwind for U.S. equity futures, as it suggests the Federal Reserve may have room to pause or soften its tightening stance. However, the simultaneous spike in oil prices due to Middle East tensions creates a 'cost-push' inflation risk that could offset this 'demand-pull' cooling in the coming months.
