Traders boost bets on Fed rate cuts after PPI, jobless claims data
June 12 (Reuters) - Futures that settle to the Federal Reserve's policy rate reflected rising bets that the U.S. central bank will deliver a pair of back-to-back interest rate cuts starting in September, after government data on Thursday showed US weekly jobless claims were steady at elevated levels. A separate government report showed producer prices rose 2.6% in May from a year earlier, in line with economists' expectations. Before the reports, rate-futures prices had reflected bets the Fed would deliver a first rate cut in September to be followed by one in December.

US producer prices rebound less than expected in May
WASHINGTON, June 12 (Reuters) - U.S. producer prices increased less than expected in May, restrained by lower costs for services like air fares. The producer price index for final demand rebounded 0.1% last month after a revised 0.2% decline in April, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Thursday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the PPI rising 0.2% after a previously reported 0.5% drop in April. In the 12 months through May, the PPI advanced 2.6% after rising 2.5% in April. Data on Wednesday showed consumer prices increased marginally in May, curbed by cheaper gasoline and airline fares amid cooling demand. But economists expect inflation will heat up in the second half of the year as tariffs-related price hikes filter through to goods. The Federal Reserve is expected to keep its benchmark overnight interest rate in the 4.25%-4.50% range next Wednesday. The U.S. central bank is expected to resume monetary policy easing in September.

Tottenham reach Thomas Frank agreement after overcoming key hurdle
Thomas Frank will become the new Tottenham manager after Spurs finally struck an agreement with Brentford for the Dane to replace Ange Postecoglou in the club's dugout Tottenham have reached an agreement with Brentford to make Thomas Frank their next head coach. Spurs quickly set their sights on Frank after Ange Postecoglou was sacked last week – only 16 days after he secured Europa League success – and made an official approach to Brentford on Monday. Discussions between Tottenham and Brentford initially centred on Frank's current terms at the west London club, which were set to run until the summer of 2027 and contained a release clause in the region of £10million. Further talks were required over which backroom staff Frank would take to Spurs but, after days of negotiations, a deal was struck with Brentford on Thursday. Highly-rated Brentford first-team coach Justin Cochrane will follow Frank to Tottenham and in the process return to the club where he started his coaching journey. London-born Cochrane has been part of Frank's backroom staff since 2022, after he initially developed as a coach in Spurs' youth-team before a spell at Manchester United. Frank will take over a Spurs side which won the Europa League last month but finished 17th in the Premier League. Poor domestic form during the 2024-25 season accounted for Postecoglou's job as the Spurs board were forced to make 'one of the toughest decisions' they have had to make in dismissing the head coach who ended a 17-year trophy drought. Frank will be teaming up again with Spurs technical director Johan Lange, who shared an office with him when they worked together at Danish club Lyngby. Lange has been leading Tottenham's search to appoint a successor to Postecoglou, and will oversee the club's transfer business this summer alongside Fabio Paratici, who is acting as a consultant to Spurs and will return to club in a full-time role once his worldwide football ban has been lifted. 'That was ultimately a choice from the club," he told Voetbal Zone. "We, as players, have little to say about that. "Of course, he is the first coach in a long time who has won a trophy has had success at Spurs. So if you look at it that way, it is of course a strange choice. 'It is a choice from the club about which we have little to say, so we will see what happens now. Of course, we see some rumours about the Brentford head coach [Frank], who it will probably be. So yes, a choice from the club about which we have little to say. 'I think many of the players got along with [Postecoglou] well. And of course, what I say, he is the first coach who has brought success to Spurs in a long time.
