Mars Finance News, June 11 — The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May increased by 4.2% year-over-year, reaching a new high in over three years, but JPMorgan Asset Management believes this data may have already approached the cyclical peak of this inflation period.
The firm's Chief Global Strategist, David Kelly, stated that although inflation remains above the target range, the most likely decision at the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting is "to keep interest rates unchanged," and to continue monitoring subsequent data changes.
Data shows that core CPI rose 0.2% month-over-month, below market expectations.
Analysts point out that the decline in gasoline prices is seen as an important signal that inflationary pressures may ease, but the energy market remains affected by geopolitical conflicts, resulting in high volatility.
Regarding market expectations, traders have almost fully priced in the June meeting holding rates steady, but there are still disagreements about the policy path at the end of the year.
The interest rate derivatives market indicates that the probability of a rate hike once before the end of the year has significantly increased, with some SOFR options even betting on earlier policy tightening.
The current market overall shows a split pattern of "fundamentals peaking" and "trading pricing leaning hawkish," with the subsequent trend depending on the persistence of energy prices and core inflation.
