๐ U.S. Inflation: Conflicting Signals Ahead of Key CPI Release
As of June 1, 2025, Truflation reports U.S. inflation at 1.85%, below the Federal Reserve's 2% target, based on real-time data from over 30 million points. In contrast, the official Consumer Price Index (CPI) for April stands at 2.3%, with May's data scheduled for release on June 11.
The discrepancy between Truflation's daily updates and the monthly CPI has sparked debate over data reliability. While Truflation suggests inflation is under control, the Federal Reserve prioritizes CPI data and remains cautious, especially considering potential tariff-related risks.
Market participants are closely watching these developments, as the upcoming CPI release could influence the Fed's monetary policy decisions, including potential interest rate adjustments.
