US PCE for May 2026: prices outpace real spending, Fed hike risk up

US PCE for May 2026: prices outpace real spending, Fed hike risk up

U.S. consumers paid more in May, but higher prices drove most of the increase rather than people buying more. That has equity investors watching demand as they try to gauge whether earnings will hold up with inflation rising again. Commerce reported personal income climbed $181.6 billion, or 0.7%, in May. Disposable income was up $164.9 billion, and spending gained $156.1 billion, also a 0.7% rise. Real personal consumption expenditures, which strip out inflation, increased $43.8 billion, or 0.3%. Saving rate hit 3.0%. The PCE price index posted a 0.4% gain in May and 4.1% over the year. Core PCE, which excludes food and energy, was up 0.3% for the month and 3.4% on the year.

US Stocks This Week: PCE Inflation, Micron Earnings in Focus as AI Rally Hovers Near Records

US Stocks This Week: PCE Inflation, Micron Earnings in Focus as AI Rally Hovers Near Records

Stocks go into the last full week of June with AI leaders still leading, but there’s less margin for error now as investors look ahead to an important inflation print and Micron Technology’s results. Last week was shortened by the Juneteenth holiday—NYSE closed on Friday, June 19. Thursday’s session was the last cash close. The rally is back near records just as the Federal Reserve sounds less supportive. The S&P 500 jumped 1.08% Thursday to close at 7,500.58. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.91% to 26,517.93. The Dow edged up 0.14% to finish at 51,564.70, according to Reuters. For the week, the Nasdaq did best.

US financial shares look to Fed stress tests after volatile week

US financial shares look to Fed stress tests after volatile week

Fed stress-test results to drive U.S. bank stocks in coming week Results from the Federal Reserve’s annual stress test will likely steer U.S. financials this week after the group eked out a small advance in the holiday-shortened session. The Fed is set to release results for 32 major banks on Wednesday at 4 p.m. EDT. The exercise won’t affect banks’ capital requirements this time. But for investors, it gives a new look at balance-sheet strength as the Fed shifts focus to inflation and the personal consumption expenditures price index, which lands Thursday.

Industrials trade ahead of S&P 500 as FedEx, inflation data in focus

Industrials trade ahead of S&P 500 as FedEx, inflation data in focus

Industrial names in the U.S. outperformed the market last week, getting a boost from lower oil that helped transports, while buyers stuck with equipment makers tied to power and data-center buildouts. Now traders want to see if earnings and numbers will back up the rally’s split. Industrials are moving ahead, which is important since these stocks track the economy. The group covers aerospace and defense, machinery, electrical gear, and transport — most of the sector. That puts it in the path of swings in fuel costs, rates, shipping demand and orders at factories.

Bank of England holds rates as energy shock eases, but inflation risk keeps cuts distant

Bank of England holds rates as energy shock eases, but inflation risk keeps cuts distant

The Bank of England held interest rates at 3.75%, choosing not to follow the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan into fresh tightening as policymakers judged that Britain’s latest energy-driven inflation shock may fade, but not quickly enough to relax policy. The 7-2 vote keeps borrowing costs unchanged for now. It also leaves households, mortgage borrowers and businesses in the same uneasy place: rates are already restrictive, inflation is above target, and the next move is still not safe to call. Bank Rate is the BoE’s core policy rate, which affects what banks charge on loans and pay on savings.

Mortgage Rates Edge Close to 2026 Peak, Inflation Holds Pressure on U.S. Housing

Mortgage Rates Edge Close to 2026 Peak, Inflation Holds Pressure on U.S. Housing

Mortgage rates in the U.S. edged up again this week, moving closer to their highs from 2026. That’s more pressure for buyers dealing with high prices, persistent inflation, and few signs that the Federal Reserve is ready to cut rates. Freddie Mac on Thursday put the average 30-year fixed at 6.52% for the week ending June 11, versus 6.48% the week before. That’s just under the 6.53% seen two weeks back. The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage, a popular choice for refinancing, ticked up to 5.84% from 5.79% last week. Both the 30-year and 15-year rates are still running below where they were a year ago—6.84% and 5.97%, respectively. But the recent bump keeps borrowing costs high and continues to squeeze household purchasing power.

Bank of Canada Keeps Rate at 2.25%, Balancing Inflation and Slower Growth

Bank of Canada Keeps Rate at 2.25%, Balancing Inflation and Slower Growth

Bank of Canada holds key rate at 2.25%, pauses again The Bank of Canada on Wednesday left its main interest rate at 2.25%. Policymakers decided to stay put as they watch weak growth at home and inflation from higher energy costs. The Bank Rate remains at 2.5% and the deposit rate stays at 2.20%. The central bank has now kept rates unchanged since its last move, a cut in October 2025. Governor Tiff Macklem called the rate pause a balance between “economic weakness combined with rising inflation.” In his opening statement, Macklem said hiking rates now could weigh further on the economy, but a rate cut risks letting inflation stick around. “For now, holding the policy rate unchanged balances those risks,” he said.

Dow Jones Recovers, Inflation Keeps Fed Jitters in Play

Dow Jones Industrial Average ticked up Thursday, with traders stepping in to buy after this week’s steep drop. Gains looked shaky, though, as wholesale inflation came in hot and energy prices plus Fed rate worries hung over the market. The blue-chip index traded at 50,203.87, rising 285.09 points, or 0.57%, with real-time figures from Investing.com at 10:51:25 ET.

SoFi stock falls as U.S. inflation brings back rate-hike talk for high-growth fintechs

SoFi stock falls as U.S. inflation brings back rate-hike talk for high-growth fintechs

SoFi Technologies dropped more than the overall market on Wednesday, finishing at $15.87, a loss of 60 cents. Investors rotated out of higher-volatility growth stocks after another hot inflation report kept the odds of more rate hikes on the table. Tuesday’s close hadn’t been hit by earnings news. It was the outlook on rates that shifted: Reuters said markets were now pricing in at least a 25-basis-point hike before year-end. A basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point. SoFi shares opened at $16.20 and pushed up to $16.72 early before sliding back to a session low of $15.83. The stock closed not far from that low. Volume was heavy at 86.18 million shares, up from the Google Finance average of 74.86 million, making clear the move down didn’t come on light trading.

Dow slides late on fresh oil shock, stoking inflation and Fed worries

Dow slides late on fresh oil shock, stoking inflation and Fed worries

Dow drops after hours as stocks take hit from inflation data, oil spike The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 50,019.15, falling 1.68% after Tuesday’s 50,872.11 finish. After the bell, traders saw the new inflation numbers and a jump in oil prices as a threat to recent gains in the blue-chip index. It wasn’t only the loss. Wednesday’s jump put doubts on whether inflation is cooling off. The Consumer Price Index, which tracks what households pay for goods and services, increased 4.2% for the year ended in May, up from 3.8% in April, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed.

Dow Drops After CPI Surprise, Iran Concerns Keep Fed Outlook Uncertain

Dow Drops After CPI Surprise, Iran Concerns Keep Fed Outlook Uncertain

Dow slips after inflation data, Iran jitters The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped in early Wednesday trade, erasing Tuesday's rise after a new inflation report signaled hotter prices and U.S.-Iran worries kept traders alert for energy moves. The Dow was last down 279.92 points, or 0.55%, at 50,592.19. The S&P 500 held near break-even while the Nasdaq ticked up, LSEG data via Reuters showed. Wednesday's drop isn’t a straightforward reaction to a bad inflation print. The Consumer Price Index climbed 0.5% in May and was up 4.2% year over year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. That’s quicker than April’s 3.8% annual pace, but Reuters said the headline number was mostly in line with estimates.

US stock futures slip with CPI ahead as Iran oil risk stirs Fed worries

US stock futures slip with CPI ahead as Iran oil risk stirs Fed worries

Stock futures dipped early Wednesday as traders waited for the May inflation print, a report that could shape whether the latest Wall Street slide turns into a buying opportunity or a reset for high-growth names that track rates. E-mini S&P 500 futures last traded at 7,330.25, off 62.50 points. Nasdaq 100 futures were lower by 371.25 points at 28,745.75, while Dow futures dropped 374 points to 50,535, per Barchart data. Traders aren’t just watching the CPI number. The Consumer Price Index tracks changes in what people pay for daily goods and services. This report comes at a tricky time with oil prices still affected by war risk, bond markets on edge about persistent inflation, and the Federal Reserve set to meet next week. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is set to release the May CPI at 8:30 a.m. ET.

Bitcoin fell toward $61,000 again Tuesday, erasing its early-week rise as traders waited for a U.S. inflation report that could shift Federal Reserve rate bets and weigh on crypto prices.

Dow Jones gains with chip stocks ahead of inflation data

Dow Jones bounces back above 51,000 as chip stocks rebound The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded up 244 points, or 0.48%, to 51,110.80 in early Monday trading. The move comes after a sharp fall Friday, with chip makers lifting the index. The S&P 500 advanced 1.09% and the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.72%. Bounce matters as traders weigh if Friday’s drop was just a quick reset or signals a tougher pullback after the AI rally. Nasdaq, with heavier tech weighting than the Dow, led the rebound. The Dow’s smaller move stayed closer to its usual industrials, banks, healthcare, and consumer stocks.

Wall Street’s Chip Rebound Lifts Nasdaq — Inflation Test Comes Next

Wall Street’s Chip Rebound Lifts Nasdaq — Inflation Test Comes Next

Wall Street advanced in Monday morning trading, led by a rebound in chip and other technology shares, as investors moved back into the artificial intelligence trade after Friday’s sharp break in momentum. The Nasdaq Composite was up 1.43%, the S&P 500 rose 0.87% to 7,448.31 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.22%, Reuters market data from LSEG showed. The move matters because one of the year’s main market engines — demand for AI chips and computing power — had begun to look less certain. Monday’s bounce suggested investors were not ready to abandon the trade, even as they watched rates, oil and earnings risk more closely.

Grab Stock Falls. Inflation Remains in Focus.

Grab Holdings starts the week lower after a rough stretch, with its Nasdaq shares finishing Friday at $3.34, off 3.47% on the day and down 5.6% from a week earlier. The stock won’t trade again until New York opens Monday; the Nasdaq is still closed for the weekend. Why it matters now: the wave of selling didn’t just hit Grab. On Friday, the Nasdaq Composite sank 4.18% and the S&P 500 fell 2.64%. That snapped a nine-week winning streak. A strong U.S. jobs report stoked new worries that the Federal Reserve may hold rates higher for longer.
