- On a monthly basis, inflation eased to 0.1%, compared with expectations of 0.2%, which would have matched April’s reading.
- A rise in shelter costs drove much of May’s increase, though this was partly offset by a drop in gasoline prices, which pushed energy costs down by 1%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the "core" CPI held steady at April’s annual rate of 2.8%, while the monthly figure dipped to 0.1%—both below estimates.
