(June 2025) U.S. inflation rises 0.1% in May from prior month, less than expected

The Democrats were wanting a recession with all of the tariffs. Instead the opposite is occurring. Poor Democrats. Nothing seems to be going their way. Can’t wait for the liberal spin.

U.S. inflation rises 0.1% in May from prior month, less than expected

 

Get ready for the spin.
Libbies will come fast and furious with this news.

 

Terrible news.
The libbies won’t be happy.

 

time to blame the reporting

 

do we have a duplicate thread to confuse the libbies?

 

Not rooting for a recession, but the below pretty much sums up my concerns. Maybe tariffs get dropped before there are impacts, maybe they don't. Maybe they get struck down by the courts. It's just common sense that if significant tariffs stay in place that price increases will follow. Not sure why that's controversial.

“Today’s below forecast inflation print is reassuring – but only to an extent,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. “Tariff-driven price increases may not feed through to the CPI data for a few more months yet, so it is far too premature to assume that the price shock will not materialize.”

 

Demand effects for this tariff have been larger than price increases. When demand falls, it puts downward pressure on prices. Demand for goods, those hit mostly by tariffs, have been falling.

 

When CPI is releasing that they can't collect the information, it is a fair question, although nobody knows whether this will bias the results or simply make them more inexact without bias. BLS not having people to properly collect data is a problem that hasn't been faced before, so the effects are not really known.

 

How about you leave this one to the adults who can actually read reports?

 

I’m still waiting for them to arrive…

 

Well, then why don't you go learn how to read the reports so that you might become one someday.

 

Your liberal agenda doesn’t bother me.
Just admit you’re not excited about the report.

Everyone knew you’d down play it.
Doesn’t seem you’re acting the adult you think you are.

 

Remember that time when you said you were voting against higher taxes and then the guy you voted for personally implemented a massive tax increase that caused a demand shock downward?

 

Price increases just started hitting the supply chain in the last month. I've seen it myself but so far I haven't seen consumer prices go up in my industry. I'll be interested to see what happens

 

Remember the time you voted for That Camel lady.
She’s still laughing at you for believing she was better than even crazy Don.

 

Look at you guys celebrating a win before halftime

Ouch, dude. You attacked her appearance. That really stings. And this is why I prefer having conversations with adults. Best of luck to you.

 

Uhhhh, Mike already posted this.
Maybe check post 7.

 

Florida farmers now plowing over perfectly good tomatoes as Trump’s tariff policies cause prices to plummet

This is the kind of stuff that hasn't hit the end market yet. Personally I'm not sure how we avoid inflation but I hope for the best
