📊 US Economic Data Releases
- May 13 – Core CPI
- May 15 – PPI
Next week’s key focus will be on inflation, with the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) reports. The CPI measures consumer-level price changes — a softer print could strengthen the case for rate cuts and lift market sentiment, while a hotter reading might prompt caution from the Fed.
The PPI, which tracks wholesale prices and can signal future inflation trends, will also be closely watched. A lower print could point to easing supply-side pressures, adding support for monetary easing, while an upside surprise may reflect rising input costs and reduce the Fed’s room to manoeuvre.
