"Inflation Forecast: Cooling Trend Continues, Fed Remains Vigilant"

The June inflation report is expected to show a further cooling of prices, with headline inflation forecasted to rise 3.1% over the prior year, the slowest increase since March 2021. However, inflation is still expected to remain significantly above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Despite the slowdown, the Fed is expected to continue raising interest rates this year, with a rate hike anticipated in July. The central bank aims to tame inflation, as last week's jobs report data showed a strong labor market with low unemployment and high wages.
