The critical CPI and PPI reports both showed cooler-than-expected inflation in May for a third-straight month, as lower oil prices and moderating shelter costs more than offset the tariff uplift. Upsetting the key disinflationary offset that has kept overall inflation suppressed in recent months, the exchange of attacks between Iran and Israel sent global oil prices surging to four-month highs.
