Although core inflation indicators suggest that price increases have not yet fully spread to the retail consumer sector, this has already altered market expectations regarding the Federal Reserve\u2019s policy path. <br\/>Friday\u2019s data showed that U.S. consumer confidence improved in June, with inflation expectations unexpectedly cooling.
