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

The consumer price index was expected to rise 0.2% in May, with a 12-month inflation rate of 2.4%.

Weakness in energy prices helped offset some of the increases, and a handful of other key items expected to show tariff-related jumps, vehicle and apparel prices in particular, actually posted declines.

Nice. Good news for consumers.

The only decrease I have seen is gasoline which per your post seems to be the main driver in the slow down of inflation. On the negative side, IIRC, weakness in energy demand is often related to economic slow down.

That's excellent news.

Thanks Biden

For not running and letting Harris carry the ball.

Businesses stocked up on pre-tariff inventory. When that runs out, there will be higher prices.

Just like clockwork, libs keep saying that disaster is right around the corner though the disaster never comes.

They really do want the US to be messed up and they'll keep hoping they're right even though it never happens.

"higher prices' is not the same as a "disaster".
just like clockwork, trump supporters can't understand simple english words.

Prices will always rise, eventually.

As long as that stays slow and gradual, and wages outpace the rise in prices, things are good!

The one nice thing about a crashing economy is that it can slow down inflation.

It's becoming a pattern. Good news for the country is bad news for Democrats.

Guess we’re not all going to die of tariffs after all.

Do you have link that we are all going to “die” because of tariffs?

Yes, it's getting pretty pathetic now. This is the third month in row that no tariff-related cost increases occurred in spite of the self-appointed economic gurus on the far left predicting that the increases would crash the economy and create massive disasters for everyone.

Economic experts have been saying the end of summer if trade agreements were not reached expediently. How are those going? Any actual, signed agreements?

The problem is, you see "around the corner" and think two weeks from now instead of two months from now. It's been shown that two weeks is the typical memory span of Trump supporters. That's why you'll be back in two weeks with another gotcha on tariffs.

Clearly, he was mocking the hysterics of the crowd claiming that "the sky is falling!" because of Trump's tariffs. Not every post is meant to be interpreted 100% literally.

Trump has paused the vast majority of his tariffs
