According to reports, the U.S. CPI report for June is particularly important as it will help investors gain a deeper understanding of the impact of Trump's tariffs on consumer prices and the overall economy. The impact of tariffs will materialize in the June inflation report, with consumer goods, especially tradable categories, reflecting the issue. Core commodities and components will be closely monitored as these products will reveal how much tariff costs have been passed on to American consumers. Prices in industries such as automobiles and clothing are expected to rebound, as these industries saw a contraction in the May report. However, given the continued normalization of automotive inventory and tightening credit in the automotive financing market, prices of used cars may further decline.
