IMO, the news services highlight the wrong fact.
I prefer (from the news): Consumer prices rose 0.1% in May… that gives a better picture of what’s happening now in the index. The TTM number has too much history.

I hope that’s true, but I fear Powell is determined to bring the plane in for a steeper landing. Especially with billions about to be extracted from the consumer economy (student debt payments resume) I would think a pause would be appropriate, but I’m mistrustful.
