US core prices, excluding food and energy, rose 2.8% in April, same as March and matching estimates.

US consumer prices rose 0.2% m/m in April, below estimates of a 0.3% rise, and compared to March's 0.1% contraction.

The US and China announced a massive cut in reciprocal tariffs for 90 days amid efforts to contain trade tensions and reach a resolution.

According to the temporary agreement, the US will cut tariffs from 145% to 30%, including a 20% tariff related to fentanyl, while China will cut tariffs from 125% to 10%.

In addition, Trump also reduced tariffs on small Chinese packages, worth less than $800, from 120% to 54%.
