Gold ticks higher with focus on US inflation data
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – Economists forecast US inflation to rise to 2.7% annually in June due to tariffs on imports, affecting prices and complicating Federal Reserve policy decisions.
- Inflation likely accelerated in June 2025 as tariffs imposed by President Trump on imports, including a planned 30% tariff on the EU starting August 1, began affecting prices in the U.S.
- This acceleration follows a period when core inflation fell from 3.3% in January to 2.8% in May, a rate still above the Fed's 2% target despite tariffs not noticeably pushing inflation earlier.
- Companies, including Mitsubishi and Nike, responded to tariffs by raising prices or planning 'surgical' price hikes while many built stockpiles and delayed large automation investments amid economic and trade policy uncertainties.
- Interact Analysis revised down its 2025 U.S. market forecast for mobile robots by 10%, citing tariffs and uncertainties causing slower adoption and a CAGR drop from 26% to 21%, while Fed officials observe inflation trends before adjusting rates.
- The inflation rise could present political challenges for President Trump, who repeatedly demands Fed Chair Powell cut interest rates to ease housing affordability, though Fed officials remain cautious amid tariff-driven inflation risks.
