โšซ Voice from the market
Even though the numbers were as expected, the market reacted because there were expectations of even stronger figures.
It is evident that there is still a long way to go for the FRB to achieve the 2% inflation target.
In addition to concerns surrounding regional bank sectors, if the federal debt ceiling issue is not resolved, the possibility of the FRB temporarily halting rate hikes will increase further.

โšซ Voice from the market
In a positive development where the CPI has finally fallen below 5%.
It has risen by 4.9% compared to the previous year, with the core also still rising by 5.5%.
It is not enough to push up the stock market to levels where it is considered to have emerged from the worst period.
Although there are signs of disinflation, authorities need to be convinced that the inflation rate will return to 2%, and no improvement has been made.

โœ… Voices from the Market Regarding CPI
- Inflation indicators related to rent show clear signs of easing price pressures, contributing to pushing down the overall CPI.
- It did not show as much inflation overheating as expected, undeniably inducing a sense of relief and strengthening the basis for halting interest rate hikes.
- The market is quite adamant about halting interest rate hikes, which is still restrictive to the economy even with the halt, with quantitative tightening still in place.
- As expected, the 0.4% month-on-month increase is still a high number, indicating the challenge of keeping the year-on-year growth below 3%.
Core inflation growth remains significant, which will likely deter short-term rate cut speculations, but signs of cooling in service sector inflation support a pause in rate hikes in June or later this year.
Until policy makers are ready to declare mission accomplished, further substantial progress will be needed.
