Thursday, PPI numbers came in lower than expected, and month-over-month producer prices went negative in May, down -0.2.

Wednesday, investors watched as the FOMC kept interest rates in place and showed off a dot plot that tracked about one rate cut for the remainder of 2024. That morning, CPI data for the month of May showed an unexpected slowdown, with Core CPI coming in at 3.4% Year-over-Year compared to 3.5% estimated. Consumer prices overall remained unchanged month over month, compared to a 0.1% growth expected.
