Dow Jones rebounds after cooling PPI inflation figures
The post Dow Jones rebounds after cooling PPI inflation figures appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Dow Jones pushed back up into the 43,000 region after upbeat PPI inflation print. Market expectations of Fed rate cuts later this year have roared back to life. Despite low inflation data this week, potential price impacts from tariffs still loom ahead. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) caught a bullish bid on Thursday, bolstered by better-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) inflation data for May. Pricing pressures remain tepid despite the Trump administration’s best efforts to make the US economy pay excess international trade taxes, and the lack of immediate price volatility impacts are re-igniting market expectations of a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut in September. PPI inflation rebounded in May, and previous data saw a slight upward revision, but the overall figures still came in below median market forecasts. Annualized core PPI inflation eased to 3.0% YoY, while headline PPI inflation rose to 2.6% YoY. This week’s overall tepid inflation data for both consumers and producers has galvanized market bets for the start of the Fed’s next rate-cutting cycle. According to the CME’s FedWatch Tool, rate traders are pricing in nearly 80% odds of at least a 25 basis point rate trim when the Fed gathers for its September rate call. In the meantime, the Fed is expected to continue holding rates flat for the next two rate meetings. The University of Michigan’s (UoM) Consumer Sentiment Index for June will land on markets on Friday to wrap up the trading week, and median market forecasts expect an overall rebound in aggregated consumer sentiment survey results. Investors will also keep a close eye on the UoM’s 1-year and 5-year Consumer Inflation Expectations, which are holding uncomfortably high at 6.6% and 4.2%, respectively. Dow Jones price forecast Thursday’s bullish push is keeping the Dow Jones Industrial Average within touch range…
