Week Ahead - Time for the Fed but first, it's US inflation
The main event of the week is the FOMC decision, but before we get there, the May inflation report should show that inflation is cooling.  Pricing pressures should ease as gasoline prices tumble and as demand destruction starts to become apparent in the data.  The negative base effects start to help send the headline year-over-year inflation reading closer to 4.0%.

Oil in choppy waters, gold eyes US inflation and the Fed
Oil remains volatile but below pre-US regional banking crisis range It's been a very choppy week in oil markets, with traders forced to digest the latest compromise deal from OPEC+ against the backdrop of more interest rate hikes and dampening prospects for the global economy. Resilience in the economy now is impressive but the longer it lasts, the more it will be met with higher interest rates that could ultimately deliver a harder landing. That oil failed to break back into the band it was tra

Stocks rise after larger-than-expect jump in jobless claims
Wall Street is clearly in waiting-on-the-Fed mode, but optimism is growing that the Fed might end up being done with their rate hiking cycle.  The data-dependent Fed has locked themselves into a skip and that seems to be mostly priced in.  Even if we get a somewhat hot inflation report next week, they are likely to keep rates steady at the June 14th meeting. Now that we are seeing weakness in the service sector and overall softness is emerging in the labor market, we should anticipate that the i
