Top News of the Day:

Wall Street’s three major indexes closed lower on Wednesday as investors bet that the latest economic data would do nothing to push the Federal Reserve off track from its aggressive interest rate hiking cycle aimed at taming run-away inflation.

Data showed that while U.S. job openings fell in April, they remained at high levels, suggesting continued wage increases contributing to uncomfortably high inflation as companies scramble for workers.

Top Market Segment to Watch Out Today:

AMAZON: Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s Kindle unit said on Thursday it will stop operating its Kindle e-bookstore in China from the end of June next year, after which customers in China will no longer be able to purchase new eBooks.

It said it would also, with immediate effect, stop supplying resellers with its Kindle reader. It did not give a reason for the move, which it announced on its official WeChat account.

Economic News:

US: High inflation is being driven by global phenomena that could not be anticipated, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo said on Wednesday, adding that U.S. demand remains strong.

“I don’t think anyone saw the invasion – Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – coming, which is driving the high energy prices that we see today,” Adeyemo told MSNBC a day after U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she was “wrong” last year about the path that inflation would take.

Yellen had told CNN on Tuesday that since public comments she made in 2021 suggesting a more benign and transitory path for inflation, the global economy was hit by multiple unanticipated shocks, including persistent supply chain disruptions, Russia’s war in Ukraine and strict lockdowns of China’s economy.

Adeyemo echoed those comments and said other countries were also struggling with high inflation.

Eurozone: Russia recorded flat consumer prices after modest deflation the week before, data showed on Wednesday, ahead of the central bank’s rate-setting meeting scheduled for June 10.

Weekly inflation spiked to 2.22% in early March, soon after Russia started what it calls a “special military operation” in Ukraine on Feb. 24, but has been slowing since, capped by a rapid recovery in the rouble.

In the week to May 27, the consumer price index (CPI) was unchanged after declining 0.02% in the previous week for the first time since August 2021, data from statistics service Rosstat showed.

In annual terms, inflation slowed to 17.35% from 17.51%, the economy ministry said, after data showed consumer demand measured by retail sales slumped in April.
