I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.

US April CPI rose to 3.8% y/y, slightly above the expected 3.7%, driven by higher energy prices and reaccelerating shelter costs. Core inflation also increased, with the ex food/energy measure rising by 0.4% m/m. CIBC suggests that inflation will continue to rise in May, keeping the Fed sidelined until oil prices decrease significantly. Market expectations indicate no rate changes until year-end, as the Fed is unlikely to act until inflation approaches 2% or unemployment nears 5%.
