What’s Next For Commodity Prices As Inflation Heats Up?
As we head into the final week of May, traders have shifted their attention to a series of high-impact macro releases, which are expected to shed further light on hot topic of rising inflation. These include; Consumer Confidence, U.S Q1 GDP, Personal Income and Spending figures as well as the Fed’s preferred inflation measure – PCE data.
Last week, Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s recent policy meeting showed a very dovish tone from the central bank. While a number of policy makers have expressed concerns about rising inflation – the general consensus is that the Fed will continue to allow inflation to run hotter than its traditional 2% goal as it pursues full and inclusive employment.
