• Based on CPI data, we have lowered our core PCE inflation forecast for June by 10bp +1 212 667 9637

to 0.168% m-o-m from our pre-CPIestimate of 0.271%. This would be consistent with

• Some weakness in supercore CPI inflation appears to have been amplified by +1 212 667 9186

temporary noise, but deceleration in services prices inflation is consistent with

moderating wage growth.

• CPI core goods inflation remained slightly negative. The impact from tariffs continued

to wane while the impact from AI boom on consumer electronics prices remained

limited.

• Moderating wage growth, residual seasonality, PCEannualrevisions, and the waning

impact from tariffs suggest that core PCE inflation will likely decelerate gradually in the

second half of this year. This supports our Fed call of no rate hikes indefinitely.
