The data published, including the USD CPI, GDP, manufacturing PMI, and jobless claims, paint a mixed picture of the US economy. While GDP growth remains strong, manufacturing PMI and retail sales have shown signs of weakness. The increase in CPI and PCE Price Index could indicate rising inflationary pressures, which may prompt the Fed to consider tightening monetary policy in the near future. The job market, as indicated by the low initial jobless claims, remains robust.
