Key Takeaways

  1. Jobless claims increased by 13,000 to 242,000, the highest in 10 months.
  2. Producer prices fell 0.2% in May, indicating cooling inflation.
  3. The Fed may cut interest rates starting in September due to economic data.

What Happened?

The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits surged by 13,000 to 242,000 last week, marking a 10-month high. This rise suggests the labor market is losing momentum.

Continuing claims, a proxy for ongoing unemployment, also jumped by 30,000 to 1.820 million. Meanwhile, producer prices fell by 0.2% in May, the largest decline since October, and consumer prices remained unchanged for the first time in nearly two years.

Why It Matters?

These developments hint at an economy that’s starting to slow down, which could lead the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates sooner than expected. Fed officials have already postponed the start of rate cuts to possibly December but might reconsider based on this new data.

Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank, noted, “These data nudge the door a little wider open for the Fed to start cutting interest rates later this year.”

What’s Next?

Financial markets now anticipate the Fed will begin its easing cycle in September. Economists like Bernard Yaros from Oxford Economics believe the Fed will cut rates twice this year, starting in September. Investors should watch for the Fed’s next moves, as interest rate cuts could influence stock valuations, borrowing costs, and overall market sentiment.

Additional Considerations

Stocks on Wall Street were mixed following the jobless claims report, while the dollar rose against other currencies, and U.S. Treasury yields fell. The unemployment rate also edged up to 4% in May. Fed Chair Jerome Powell remarked that labor market conditions have returned to pre-pandemic levels, remaining tight but not overheated.

The producer price index (PPI) data further supports the likelihood of upcoming rate cuts. According to the Labor Department, the core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, remained unchanged in May, matching April’s gain of 3.2% year-on-year.
