Key drivers

  • Recent core CPI prints cluster around 0.2 to 0.3 percent
  • April's 0.4 percent print keeps upside risk live
  • Shelter inflation remained positive at 0.3 percent in May
  • Core goods softness in May offsets some tariff and supply-chain pressure
  • Energy shock raises indirect pass-through risk but May core response was contained
