Summary
- Both headline and core inflation numbers fell short of consensus estimates.
- Gasoline prices fell 0.5% in May, following a 5.7% increase in April. Gas prices could be a deflationary force in coming months.
- May’s mild inflation report leaves the door wide open for the Federal Reserve to begin cuts in short-term interest rates.
