US CPI Inflation Declines For the 3rd Month in May
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:
