The Iran vs.\u00a0US war is heating up again after the United States began\nlaunching strikes on Iran on Wednesday, according to a statement from US\nCentral Command (CENTCOM). In a post on platform X, CENTCOM stated that\nthe US military began \u201claunching additional self-defence strikes at 5:15\np.m. ET against a number of targets in Iran at the direction of the\nCommander-in-Chief.\u201d The post confirmed that the strikes were carried\nout \u201cin response to Iran\u2019s unprovoked and continued aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n
Iranian state media reported that Iran has targeted US ships in the\nStrait of Hormuz with missile and drone attacks. These latest strikes\ncome after US President Donald Trump said earlier on Wednesday that the\nUS would hit Iran \u201cvery hard\u201d again, escalating his public threats while\ncontinuing to pressure Tehran to sign a deal. \u201cWe hit them hard\nyesterday, and we will hit them hard again today,\u201d Trump said during the\nSecure America Act signing event at the White House.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday evening\nreleased inflation data for the May 2026 period showing an annual\ninflation acceleration to 4.2%. This figure rose from 3.8% in April and\nset a new record high since April 2023. On a monthly basis, headline\ninflation recorded a 0.5% increase. This main inflation surge was\nspecifically dominated by a soaring energy price index, which rose 3.9%\nmonthly or 23.5% annually due to commodity market pressure. Conversely,\ncore inflation, which excludes the energy and food sectors, appeared\nmore moderate with a 0.2% monthly and 2.9% annual increase.<\/p>\n
Responding to yesterday\u2019s inflation data, market participants are\nprojecting that The Fed will hold the benchmark interest rate at the\nupcoming 17 June meeting, with the potential for a new rate hike now\npredicted to be postponed until December. Amid these tightening\ndynamics, the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, instead indicated that\ninterest rates have room to move lower in the future. Warsh believes\nthat a surge in productivity from the utilisation of artificial\nintelligence technology will have a significant disinflationary impact\non the overall economy.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ihsg-surges-1-amid-escalating-iran-us-tensions-and-us-inflation-spike-1781146448", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
