According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on June 11 (Korean time), the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) for May rose 6.5% year-on-year. The core PPI, excluding energy and food, also increased by 5.1%, demonstrating ongoing inflationary pressure. Previously, the April PPI reported on May 13 had risen 5.2% year-on-year.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May, announced on the 10th, rose 4.2% year-on-year, and core CPI also increased by 2.9%.

Along with price indicators, global financial markets are still being influenced by an ongoing war and recent geopolitical risks between the U.S. and Iran. Although media reports stated that U.S. President Donald Trump spoke directly with Iranian officials requesting a halt to U.S. military airstrikes, Iranian state media denied this. Regarding questions related to the recent CPI release, President Trump responded, "I love inflation," sparking public criticism.
