May CPI: Inflation pressures ease on a monthly basis as tariff uncertainty lingers

From finance.yahoo.com

May's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed inflation pressures eased on a monthly basis as investors closely watch for any signs that President Trump's tariffs are impacting what consumers pay. The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 2.4% over the prior year in May, a slight uptick from April's 2.3% rise, which marked the lowest yearly increase since February 2021. On a monthly basis, prices increased 0.1%, below April’s 0.2% rise and a beat compared to economists' estimates of a 0.2% monthly gain in prices. On a "core" basis, which excludes ... (full story)

Key factor is the Core Inflation MoM is lower then expected and lower then previous.

Confirming that the false prophecy of higher tarrifs will lead to hyper inflation has now been proven false.

Although overall inflation is still coming down and most other reports today were in line or lower then expectations while still behing higher then previous.

Yet all still on the downward trend.

So today confirms tariffs little to no impact other then to perhaps investors where the company eats the tarrifs in order to keep production going.

Elementary really.

We had to endure cries a couple of months ago from economic neophytes motivated not by any knowledge of economics but solely by a political bias saying how "idiot Trump wants (not will, but wants) to destroy the national economy with tariffs." Somehow, this never came to pass and we said so on these pages for more than one reason.

Then, last week, there was a whole slew of articles by pundits and self-appointed "experts" who were saying "next week CPI will surely show the inflation going up sharply!"

The CPI data released this morning. Make your own judgment.

Now, now doubt, we will be treated by the same crew of know-nothing neophytes saying "not yet, but wait." So, we will be waiting.

Yeap, tariffs aren't meant to be permanent revenue tools like the EU and many others often treats them. They are negotiation levers to extract concessions.

Some might disagree with their use, but they've proven effective in this case, showing that those who dismissed them based on hypothetical doom-and-gloom scenarios were simply wrong again.

Forecast was 2.3% and it was changed to 2.5% for exactly the reason to push the stock market higher.
This number is as fake as it gets anyway. Inflation rate is somewhere around 10% - 11% y/y.

Also, no pressure eased. Title is deliberately misleading. Prices continue to rise and it's much higher than reported as anyone intelligent enough already knows.

You're expecting too much from the npcs. Obviously, the data has no bearing on reality.

The key is to understand why. If you know what the central banks end goal is, then the fake data starts making sense.

Honestly, when I say npcs, I do believe in that. Either 95% of the comments are from bots or it's from uneducated people who do not possess even basic knowledge about how the system works.

Now that you know the data is fake and what the end goal of the central banks is (if you don't, I'll explain), what are you gonna do about it?

"The Federal Reserve's balance sheet doesn't perfectly reflect all of its US debt buying due to a few factors. It's not a complete representation of all debt purchases, especially during periods of quantitative easing (QE) or quantitative tightening (QT)."

"The Federal Reserve quietly purchased $34.8 billion in long-term U.S. Treasury bonds on May 8th, 2025, following a similar purchase of $8.8 billion in 30-year bonds the previous day, according to a LinkedIn post. These purchases, totaling nearly $46 billion over a few weeks, have been described as "stealth QE" or "monetary policy on tiptoes" by some. The Fed has stated that these purchases are part of its "portfolio reinvestment" strategy to manage the money supply and influence interest rates."

This is called stealth QE, as it says above and is not shown on the Feds balance sheet. Use logic... if countries are dumping the US debt, then who's buying? The Federal fuc'ing Reserve along with the other central banks. Without the Fed constantly intervening in the US debt market and buying, the yields would have surged astronomically already, collapsing the stock market and eventually it would lead to the debt market meltdown.

CAR HTZ and other earning have already reported used car price increase while cpi data said it is declining so CPI is complete bullshit for all who does not believe it.

Data is fake and we can both agree on that. Why? The reason why they are faking the CPI data is because the Fed's time to cut rates is running out if they don't want to witness the bursting of the bubble and the inevitable collapse in the debt market.

Trump isn't as stupid as he seems. He knows that high yields are a big problem and refinancing of the debt is coming due very, very soon. He wants the Fed to start cutting rates and start with the QE as soon as possible. Fed then has the free hand to print to oblivion, however much more important is that they would become the sellers and buyers of last resort. They would buy it all! They would keep the yields on the US debt lower for as long as possible.

However! The problem with all of this is another wave of high inflation and currency purchasing power destruction. The Fed would basically go all the way with the USD and completely destroy what is left of its purchasing power. For which reason they are working very hard on the CBDC already, because they know what is coming and what has to take place. People in cash will lose this time and they do not understand that this isn't 2007-08 once again. Another reason why central banks are hoarding gold like never before in the history. The most criminal institutions on the planet.

You need to have some physical gold or silver on you. This is my advice!

Please, take a look at this. Fed Chair Powell when asked about why exactly 2% inflation is the target. His answer: HE HAS GOT NO FUC'ING CLUE WHY!

Since you are awake as far as I can see, please go and search for Gregory Mannarino on the youtube. This is the only guy you will ever need to hear from. He breaks down everything into the atoms and is in this freak show for a long, long time. Please, take a few minutes of your time and do it. Listen to what he has to say about the inflation data from today!

Take care buddy!
