The report believes that the main reason for the decline in consumer confidence is that many people are worried about US inflation.

　　Two key indicators of the New York Fed deteriorated to historically extreme levels.

The monthly survey released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York showed that in May, the median year-on-year growth rate of U.S. consumer inflation for the next 12 months rose to 6.6%, which was tied with the data in March. The median forecast surged to 9%, the highest since the New York Fed tracked the data.

　　According to market analysis, the pessimistic data has strengthened the market's expectation that the Fed will continue to aggressively raise interest rates and even curb economic growth.

In the early morning of June 16, Beijing time, the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision, and the market is expected to raise interest rates sharply again.

Barclays economists said U.S. inflation data could be at alarmingly high levels, meaning the Fed is highly likely to raise interest rates by 75 basis points this week, not 50 basis points.
