Highlights
The US inflation story gets it latest update at 8:30 am ET with the CPI report for April. The Econoday consensus looks for a hideous 0.6 percent rise on month and 3.8 percent on year with ex-food and energy up 0.3 percent and 2.7 percent. With the US-Iran conflict showing no sign of ending, it's hard to imagine a better showing for May. That makes it hard for the Federal Reserve and other central banks to look through these numbers.
