The Zhitong Finance App learned that GF Securities released a research report to analyze the reasons and trends of the decline in core inflation in the US. The team believes that the overall US inflation data for April 2024 was in line with market expectations, and the year-on-year decline continued. Among them, the growth rate of rental housing prices, which accounts for 35%, declined slightly; super core inflation (excluding core services other than housing) also cooled down month-on-month; core commodity prices continued to fall in April, but the pace slowed down. Furthermore, since this year, the market's expectations of the Fed's interest rate cut have been “going back and forth”. The main background is the continuous fluctuation in employment and inflation data and the back-and-forth of the Fed's statements.
