Today's batch of macroeconomic data widely supports Fed's ongoing policy stance, pointing to persistent inflationary pressures and resilitent labour market. Producer prices came in largely above expactations, discrediting last month's significatly softer reading that initially suggested a limited tariff pass-throught. On the other hand, the jobless claims remain stable, with a total number falling more than expected.
