The drag of Tariffs talks will prolong the inflation expectation. FOMC cannot play the TACO game i.e. lowers rate as inflation drops temporarily and raises rate suddenly when inflation rises as Trump suggested. When May PCE(yoy) and Core PCE(yoy) started to rise after 2 months decline , FOMC will definitely switch on the wait and see mode. July is not the time to cut rate and even September if PCE data continues to rise provided that GDP is above 1.4% and unemployment rate is below 4.5%. Because the primary mandate of a central bank is to tame inflation and growth is of secondary concern.

When US ten years yield finishes its correction and starts to rise above 4.6%, stock market will take its turn for the correction.
