Stunning inflation report shows first tariff effects and sends Wall Street on a wild ride

Consumer prices ticked up last month, rising 2.4 percent in May compared to the same time last year. Although it is a slight increase on the month before, when prices rose 2.3 percent, the increase of 0.1 percent suggests inflation is actually slowing as it is a smaller jump than previous months. The latest figures brought a sigh of relief to Wall Street where analysts had forecast prices to rise closer to 3 percent. The S&P 500 rose 0.4 percent and the Nasdaq jumped 0.6 percent in future trading on the back of the news. The Department of Labor statistics are a surprise to some economists who have expected Trump's tariffs to have more of an inflationary effect so far. Major retailers such as Walmart have said they are raising prices to offset the cost of tariffs. However, the latest report shows that other major consumer prices are down, including smartphones which fell 1.6 percent and airline fares down 2.7 percent. Traders now believe there is a 75 percent chance the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by September, compared to 60 percent yesterday, Bloomberg reported. 'Ultimately, if tariff rates are up, and core goods prices aren't up by as much as the consensus thought it implies more margin squeeze at retailers and less price pass through,' Neil Dutta from Renaissance Macro told Bloomberg.

Trump says US will get magnets and rare earth minerals in China trade deal

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States will get magnets and rare earth minerals from China under a new trade deal and that tariffs on Chinese goods will go to 55%. In return, Mr Trump said the US will provide China 'what was agreed to', including allowing Chinese students to attend American colleges and universities. Advertisement Several global brands are among dozens of companies at risk of using forced labour through their Chinese supply chains because they use critical minerals or buy minerals-based products sourced from the far-western Xinjiang region of China, an international rights group said on Wednesday. The report by the Netherlands-based Global Rights Compliance says companies including Avon, Walmart, Nescafe, Coca-Cola and paint supplier Sherwin-Williams may be linked to titanium sourced from Xinjiang, where rights groups allege the Chinese government runs coercive labour practices targeting predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities. Hotan, in western China's Xinjiang region (Andy Wong/AP) The report found 77 Chinese suppliers in the titanium, lithium, beryllium and magnesium industries operating in Xinjiang. It said the suppliers are at risk of participating in the Chinese government's 'labour transfer programmes,' in which Uyghurs are forced to work in factories as part of a long-standing campaign of assimilation and mass detention. Advertisement Commercial paints, thermos cups and components for the aerospace, auto and defence industries are among products sold internationally that can trace their supply chains to minerals from Xinjiang, the report said. It said that companies must review their supply chains. 'Mineral mining and processing in (Xinjiang) rely in part on the state's forced labour programmes for Uyghurs and other Turkic people in the region,' the report said. The report came as China and the United States, the world's two largest economies, said that they have agreed on a framework to get their trade negotiations back on track after a series of disputes that threatened to derail them. Advertisement The two sides on Tuesday wrapped up two days of talks in London that appeared to focus on finding a way to resolve disputes over mineral and technology exports that had shaken a fragile truce on trade reached in Geneva last month. Asked about the report, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that 'no-one has ever been forcibly transferred in China's Xinjiang under work programmes'. 'The so-called allegation of forced labour in China's Xinjiang region is nothing but a lie concocted by certain anti-China forces. We urge the relevant organisation to stop interfering in China's internal affairs and undermining Xinjiang's prosperity and stability under the guise of human rights,' ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said. The named companies did not immediately comment on the report. Advertisement A UN report from 2022 found China may have committed crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, where more than one million Uyghurs are estimated to have been arbitrarily detained as part of measures that the Chinese government said were intended to target terrorism and separatism. The Chinese government has rejected the UN claims and defended its actions in Xinjiang as fighting terror and ensuring stability. In 2021, then-US president Joe Biden signed a law to block imports from the Xinjiang region unless businesses can prove the items were made without forced labour. The law initially targeted solar products, tomatoes, cotton and apparel, but the US government recently added new sectors for enforcement, including aluminium and seafood. Advertisement Many of China's major minerals corporations have invested in the exploration and mining of lithium, a key component for electric vehicle batteries, in Xinjiang, Global Rights Compliance said. Xinjiang is also China's top source of beryllium, a mineral used for aerospace, defence and telecommunications, its report said. A recent report by the International Energy Agency said that the world's sources of critical minerals are increasingly concentrated in a few countries, notably China, which is also a leading refining and processing base for lithium, cobalt, graphite and other minerals.

US consumer prices rise moderately in May

WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - U.S. consumer prices increased marginally in May amid cheaper gasoline, but inflation is expected to accelerate in the coming months on the back of the Trump administration's import tariffs. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 0.1% last month after rising 0.2% in April, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said on Wednesday. In the 12 months through May, the CPI advanced 2.4% after gaining 2.3% in April. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the CPI climbing 0.2% and increasing 2.5% year-on-year. Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the CPI gained 0.1% after rising 0.2% in April. In the 12 months through May, the so-called core CPI inflation increased 2.8% after rising 2.8% in April. The Federal Reserve tracks different inflation gauges for its 2% target. The U.S. central bank is expected to leave its benchmark overnight interest rate in the 4.25%-4.50% range next Wednesday while policymakers monitor the economic impact of the tariffs. Inflation has been slow to respond to President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs as most retailers are selling merchandise accumulated before the import duties took effect. Economists expect inflation to heat up through the second half of the year. Walmart (WMT.N), opens new tab last month said it would begin raising prices in late May and June. The CPI data will come under close scrutiny in the months ahead also for another reason. Last week the BLS, which also compiles other economic releases including the closely watched employment report, announced the suspension of CPI data collection in three cities because of resource constraints. The BLS like all government agencies has been severely affected by mass firings, voluntary resignations, early retirements and hiring freezes, which are part of an unprecedented campaign by the White House to drastically reduce the size of government and remake it. The BLS has also announced that it would, effective with the release of the July Producer Price Index (PPI) data in August, end the calculation and publication of about 350 indexes. That would include data from PPI industry, commodity, final demand-intermediate demand and special index classifications. Economists said that the BLS had with the CPI data reported a rise in the share of categories for which prices were calculated using a method called different cell imputation, which some viewed as less accurate. But the BLS said on Tuesday its published data met rigorous standards. It, however, did not address staffing issues. "Data quality is evaluated through measures of variance, bias studies, and assessments of survey methods," the agency said in a statement to Reuters. "BLS continues to evaluate data quality." A former BLS commissioner told Reuters that staff levels were considerably low at the agency. "I understand that BLS staffing is down by at least 15% now, that's not reflected in any official numbers yet, because many of them are still being paid," said Erica Groshen. "They are not at work and it is impinging on the agencies. Also the hiring freeze means that they can't be replaced." Groshen said the CPI report remained reliable, noting an increased shift towards electronic collection of data.
