- US DATA: Core PCE In Line With Consensus In May, 3-month Run Rate Eases

  • Core PCE inflation came in at 0.249% in May, just about rounding down to a 0.2% M/M to bring it in line with the Bloomberg consensus. The unrounded figure prints squarely in line with the 0.24-0.25% sell-side consensus reported by MNI.
  • USD: The FX price action remains fairly subdued following the US data, however, lower personal spending figures keep the greenback on the backfoot and see some European short-term trends extend.
  • The details of April’s report are favorable as the Fed looks for signs that underlying inflation pressures are waning also proving supportive for crude on Friday.
  • Brent JUL 24 up 0.1% at 81.98$/bbl
  • WTI JUL 24 up 0.5% at 78.27$/bbl
