πΊπΈ ISM prices paid hit a four-year high as markets price June's hold but not its signal
ISM manufacturing prices paid hit 85.3 in May, the highest since early 2022, completing a three-month, 7-point acceleration. Markets have June 17 resolved. The dot plot and dissent vote under Kevin Warsh may read it differently.

πͺπΊ ECB's June hike is priced; the May PMIs just complicated the second one
Eurozone Manufacturing PMI printed 51.6 in May, with France back in contraction at 49.7 and input costs at a four-year high. A June ECB hike is 91% priced; the supply-side cost picture makes a second move in September harder to defend.

π¬π§ UK's April CPI miss is an Ofgem artefact; the Q3 spike is already on the calendar
April CPI at 2.8% is 50 basis points below forecast, but the Ofgem cap reset fires 1 July at +13%. The Q3 CPI spike is already locked in, and Bank of England cut pricing built on the April miss is exposed.
