CNBC · United States · US core PCE inflation rises to 3.4% in May, highest since October 2023, reinforcing Fed rate-hike case
Led with core PCE hitting 3.4%, attributing the acceleration to Iran-war-driven fuel prices feeding through to goods and services inflation. Cited CME FedWatch data showing markets pricing 65% odds of at least one 25 basis point hike by September, a sharp reversal from rate-cut pricing earlier in the year. Quoted economists saying the print removes any residual case for a cut in 2026.
