Trump urges for interest rate cuts again, but the 'New Federal Reserve News Agency' dampens expectations: the April CPI did not reflect the impact of tariffs, and inflation pressure will emerge afterwards.

According to Timiraos, economists believe that tariffs will end the recent inflationary lull and drive up prices in the coming months; the tariff policy is like a "roller coaster," with April's inflation providing almost no reason for the Federal Reserve to stop watching; if there are no extensive tariffs in April, this data might be enough to prompt the Fed to resume rate cuts, while costs may rise in the coming months, possibly leading the Fed to remain inactive.

Inflation cools down! The USA's April CPI year-on-year is 2.3%, the lowest level since February 2021.

The core CPI increased by 2.8% year-on-year, the lowest rate since the inflation outbreak in the spring of 2021. Housing costs remain a key factor in inflation, while airfares, used car prices, and food prices have seen a decline.

Inflation data unexpectedly "dropped a frame"! The Federal Reserve's interest rate cut expectations for September are rekindled. How do traders interpret this "delayed compensation"?

On Tuesday (May 13), the USA's April Consumer Price Index (CPI) data was released, showing that inflationary pressures have eased somewhat, providing a complex signal to the market. The overall CPI rose 0.2% month-on-month, lower than the expected 0.3%, and year-on-year it fell from 2.4% to 2.3%, also below the expected 2.4%. The core CPI (excluding food and Energy) rose 0.2% month-on-month (expected 0.3%) and year-on-year remained flat at 2.8%, in line with expectations. This unexpectedly moderate data, combined with recent uncertainties in tariff policies, triggered an immediate market response, reshaping expectations for the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts.

USD/CAD has risen for five consecutive days! What kind of market trend will the USA inflation data bring?

On Tuesday (May 13), the USD/CAD exchange rate continued its upward trend, rising for the fifth consecutive Trade day, just a step away from the psychological barrier of 1.4000 during the Europe Trade session. Although the USA Consumer Price Index (CPI) is about to be released, the USD slightly retreated, but the exchange rate remained resilient. However, the rise in Crude Oil Product prices may provide support for the CAD, potentially limiting the further rise of the USD/CAD exchange rate. As an oil-exporting country, the Canadian economy is quite sensitive to the fluctuations in Crude Oil Product prices, and rising oil prices usually strengthen the CAD. The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude Oil Product continued to perform strongly, marking the fourth consecutive Trade.

Dollar Could Rise If U.S. Core Inflation Remains Sticky -- Market Talk

WSJMay 13 04:54 ET

USA's April CPI may show signs of the impact of tariffs, with the real inflation storm expected in the next two months.

In April, the CPI in the USA is expected to increase by 0.3% month-on-month, with the core CPI also rising by 0.3%. The impact of tariffs may be reflected in areas such as Outfits, Housewares, and communications, but most of the tariff impact is expected to be realized in June and July. Given the current market's optimistic sentiment regarding tariff easing, the market may be insensitive to any unexpected movement in the CPI.

Tariff pressure is easing, shipping demand is about to surge, but inflation in the USA may still be difficult to alleviate.

Future policy uncertainty remains high, and businesses face challenges in their Operation. Some industries have tight inventories, which may lead to shortages in stock again.
