US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for June 2026, released on 14 July 2026, shows annual inflation above 3.5%

US CPI for June 2026 is released on July 14 at 8:30 a.m. ET. Analysts expect ~3.8% YoY – well above the Fed's 2% target. Drivers: energy price spikes from Hormuz tensions (US strikes on Iranian targets, LNG supply risk, TTF at €50/MWh) and sticky core CPI (+0.26% MoM expected). A sub-3.5% print appears very unlikely. A hotter-than-expected print would further reduce rate-cut expectations.

Dutch TTF Natural Gas (August 2026 front-month, ICE) trades above 50.00 EUR/MWh on 18 July 2026

TTF August 2026 briefly hit 50.00 EUR/MWh on July 10 – a one-month high – before retreating to ~48.6 EUR/MWh (-2%). Drivers: US military strikes on Iranian targets and LNG supply uncertainty through the Strait of Hormuz (~20% of global LNG trade). 52-week range: 26.55–69.35 EUR/MWh. Clearing 50.00 requires ~+3% – plausible under sustained Hormuz risk, but a geopolitical de-escalation would push prices back down.
