BY THE NUMBERS
U.S. stock futures turned sharply lower after Friday’s before-the-bell inflation report showed a bigger-than-expected increase. On the data, the 10-year Treasury yield initially jumped to more than 3.08%. Rising bond yields Thursday slammed stocks as the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 638 points or nearly 2%. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq lost roughly 2.4% and 2.8%, respectively. (CNBC)
May’s consumer price index increased 8.6% year-over-year, the fastest advance in more than 40 years. On a monthly basis, headline CPI was up 1%, also higher than expected. The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates by a half-point next week and another half-point in July. But after that, the pace to fight four-decade high inflation is less clear. (CNBC)
The national average price for a gallon of gas, according to AAA, keeps inching up, now just 1 cent shy of $5, as oil prices continue to head higher. West Texas Intermediate crude, the American benchmark, rose Friday, trading at more than $122 per barrel. (CNBC)
Those gains were, however, capped as traders worried that new lockdown measures in Shanghai for mass Covid testing might outweigh solid oil and gas consumption for the world’s top consumer, the United States. But for the time being, peak summer driving demand in the U.S. was boosting crude prices. (CNBC)

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot began laying out its initial findings Thursday night in the first in a series of public hearings.

Trump, in a social media message after the hearing, criticized the committee for not showing “the many positive witnesses and statements” and playing “only negative footage.” More hearings are set to take place over the next few weeks. (CNBC)
