Glenmede head of investment strategy and research Jason Pride expects US inflation pressure to remain concentrated in food and energy and sees core CPI MoM likely to slow. The key market question is whether that pattern will begin to shift, especially if Middle East-related energy price volatility persists.

Axios reports U.S. officials say a third round of strikes against Iran is underway.
