Negotiations over the key commercial waterway are ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Still, some analysts believe US inflation has hit a peak and will begin to slow as oil prices fall in the wake of the peace negotiations, as the major contracts for Brent and West Texas Intermediate have begun to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe good news is gas prices have come down substantially since May,\u201d said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome relief has already come for American households and this should translate to cooler inflation readings in June and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Affordability is a key political issue in November\u2019s US midterm elections, with the Democratic Party hoping to wrest control of both houses of Congress from Trump\u2019s Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump promised to lower costs on \u2018Day One,\u2019 but he\u2019s made clear he just doesn\u2019t care,\u201d said Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren in response to the latest inflation data.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 GDP boost \u2013<\/p>\n<p>In positive news for the world\u2019s largest economy, however, the Commerce Department revised its first-quarter GDP growth estimates up by 0.6 percentage points to 2.1 percent on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The new revision was \u201cprimarily reflecting a downward revision to imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, that was partly offset by a downward revision to consumer spending,\u201d the department said.<\/p>\n<p>Among the biggest contributors to the increase was information services, which includes parts of the burgeoning artificial intelligence (AI) industry that has powered recent US growth.<\/p>\n<p>The revision was far in excess of market expectations, with economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires and the Wall Street Journal expecting the figure to rise by only 0.1 percentage points.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Fed implications \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Thursday\u2019s inflation data, however, was well in line with analyst\u2019s expectations, as high fuel prices have begun to ripple outwards across the US economy.<\/p>\n<p>Core PCE inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, rose by 3.4 percent year-on-year \u2014 the highest rise since October 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Rising fuel prices saw US consumers spend $151.2 billion more on gasoline and related products in May over the same month a year ago, the data showed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the United States is still about 31 percent higher than at the start of the war, according to the AAA motor club.<\/p>\n<p>The new data on Thursday showed US personal consumption expenditures rose by 0.7 percent, with disposable personal income increasing by the same amount.<\/p>\n<p>US Federal Reserve policymakers have flagged rising concerns about sustained inflation, which has remained above its long-term two-percent target for more than five years.<\/p>\n<p>At their last meeting this month, policymakers voted unanimously to hold interest rates steady for the fourth straight meeting, with about half of them signaling that rate hikes were on the horizon for 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
