White papersMay CPI report: War impact remains contained, allowing the Fed to stay on hold
Today’s inflation report reflects ongoing price pressures tied to the Middle East conflict, though the impact remains relatively contained. Headline inflation, primarily driven by energy, rose 0.5% in May, as expected, lifting the annual rate to 4.2%, the highest in over three years. However, inflation concerns were eased by goods deflation and a lower-than-expected Core CPI reading of 0.2%. Even so, the fluid situation in the Middle East suggests the risk of higher energy prices for longer, along with second-round inflation impacts, persists.

White papersRethinking diversification in a tightly linked global market
Despite the S&P 500’s resilience amid the Middle East conflict, its concentration remains a concern, underscoring the importance of diversification. However, achieving diversification has become more challenging as global markets remain interconnected through AI supply chains, reducing regional differentiation.
