The US inflation report for May was released while ago. Inflation turned negative in March, as the country went into lockdown. Although, the crash in Crude Oil prices also played a part in subduing inflation pressures. Today’s report was expected to show inflation remaining flat, but it declined once again, making this the third month in a row. Below is the inflation report for May and the earnings:
