- Business Insider The US has experienced low inflation for the last few years, but that may be changing. Here are news, articles, and videos on inflation and its effects on the US economy.
Producer prices in the United States are anticipated to see a 0.2% increase month-over-month in June 2025, marking the most significant rise in five months. This follows a 0.1% gain in May. Investors will be closely monitoring for any indications of inflationary pressures that might be linked to recent tariff policies. The core Producer Price Index (PPI), which strips out the more volatile categories of food and energy, is likewise predicted to climb by 0.2% in June, up from a 0.1% increase in May. When viewed on an annual scale, the headline producer inflation is projected to decrease slightly to 2.5% from the preceding year's 2.6%, while core producer inflation is expected to dip to 2.7% from 3%.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com
In June 2025, the United Kingdom experienced an increase in its annual inflation rate to 3.6%, marking the highest rate since January 2024. This rise follows a 3.4% rate in May and surpasses previous expectations that it would remain stable. The primary factor contributing to this increase was the rise in transport costs, which saw a 1.7% jump compared to 0.7% in May. This surge was notably influenced by higher motor fuel expenses. Additional contributors included increased airfares, especially on long-haul and European routes, alongside elevated costs for rail travel and maintenance of personal vehicles. There was also an uptick in clothing and footwear prices, moving to 0.5% from a previous decline of -0.3%, while food prices rose to 4.5%, the highest since February 2024, driven by items such as cakes and cheddar cheese. Conversely, services sector inflation remained stable at 4.7%, with a slight easing observed in housing and utilities (down to 7.5% from 7.7%) and household services (decreasing to 6.7% from 6.9%). On a monthly scale, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) saw a 0.3% rise, exceeding the 0.2% increase recorded in May. Core inflation also picked up pace, with the annual rate reaching 3.7% and a monthly increase of 0.4%.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com
Silver prices advanced to approximately $38 per ounce on Wednesday, rebounding after a two-day dip as both the US dollar and Treasury yields eased from their recent peaks. This shift occurred as investors reevaluated the Federal Reserve's policy stance and closely watched evolving trade scenarios. The previous day's trading saw silver under pressure after US consumer inflation figures prompted market participants to adjust their expectations regarding the timing of Fed rate cuts. Dallas Federal Reserve President Lorie Logan contributed to a cautious market sentiment by suggesting that the central bank might need to maintain rates at their current levels for an extended period to control inflation, particularly given the upward pressure from tariffs. Simultaneously, trade tensions escalated after US President Donald Trump indicated forthcoming tariffs on pharmaceuticals and semiconductors starting August 1, along with the possibility of over 10% levies on smaller countries.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com
