Impact of US Inflation Data and Federal Reserve's Analysis

Last week, US inflation figures showed a decline in price pressures, coinciding with the Federal Reserve's decision to maintain interest rates while hinting at a potential rate cut later in the year. The nominal and core CPI numbers reflected softer readings compared to previous months, signaling a trend toward disinflation. The Fed's FOMC meeting projections indicated a shift towards a single rate cut in 2024 rather than the previously anticipated three cuts, aligning with a more moderate approach towards monetary policy adjustments.
