According to BlockBeats, on May 30, Nick Timiraos stated that the inflation rate, after a brief strength at the beginning of the year, continues to decline slowly overall, in line with the Federal Reserve's predictions from last year.

Core services prices (excluding housing) remained stable in April, while housing prices rose by 0.35%. Core commodity prices increased by 0.27% in April after a decline of 0.27% in March.

The broadly implemented tariff threats hindered this improvement; otherwise, the report would have received applause at the Federal Reserve headquarters.
