The widely watched US CPI inflation for April has just been released. The data came in above expectations as the headline inflation rose 4.2% YoY in April vs expected 3.6% YoY. That is a rapid increase compared to 2.6% YoY print last month. The Core CPI figure came in above the consensus estimate as well as it amounted to 3.0% YoY (vs exp. 2.3% YoY).
