However, the moderating headline year-over-year figure provides some relief. Markets will closely monitor upcoming employment data and inflation trends for further clarity on the Fed's policy trajectory. The combination of robust spending and sticky core inflation could lead to a more cautious approach in the Fed's rate cut considerations.
