• Executive Summary: Citigroup's US Economics Weekly report (June 13, 2025) highlights that recent inflation and labor market data are softening, including slowing services prices and limited tariff effects on goods, suggesting a dovish shadow on the upcoming FOMC meeting. However, the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain current rates in June and July, with a gradual easing path beginning in September. The analysts reduce 2025 GDP growth forecast to 2.8% and emphasize risks from continued labor market cooling, manufacturing production declines, and geopolitical tariffs.

• Key Economic Developments

  • Inflation: Core PCE and CPI inflation have slowed due to weaker demand, with no persistent upward pressure from tariffs. Services inflation is decelerating, while goods prices remain soft, but upward risks to CPI exist if tar-effected goods prices rise.
  • Labor Market: May payroll gains were nuanced (narrow focus in healthcare, leisure/hospitality), with initial claims at 248k but continuing claims at 1956k showing rising joblessness, indicating potential instability.
  • Fed Policy: The Fed is projected to leave rates unchanged in June/July and keep median dots stable for 25bp cuts starting Sep 2025, potentially 125bp in total by early 2026, driven by data improvements. Chair Powell's "wait-and-see" approach reflects balanced risks.

• Recent Data Highlights

  • Inflation Data: Core CPI and PPI showed modest monthly increases, softer than forecasts. Services ex-shelter weakened, owner's equivalent rent rose slightly.
  • Labor Market: Slowing hiring and rising continuing claims signal possible unemploYment rate hikes, pointing to future easing. Geopolitical tariffs are viewed as lagging inflation effects but risk reintroducing upward pressures.
  • GDP Forecast: Q2 GDP growth at 2.8% YoQ, with consumer and inventory contributions still positive but private demand weakening.

• Upcoming Events & Forecasts

  • FOMC Meeting: June meeting features "wait-and-see" rhetoric; July could pivot to cuts if inflation remains subdued or jobs soften.
  • Geopolitical Focus: Potential tariff adjustments by July. Citi downgrades 2025-26 growth and inflation forecasts.
  • Data Projections: Retail sales expected to decline 0.6% MoM due to auto normalizations, while manufacturing and housing indicators suggest ongoing slowdowns.
