Inflation accelerated in May per the latest data, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.5% for the month and 4.2% over the past 12 months, marking the first time annual inflation has exceeded 4% in three years.

The primary driver was energy costs, which jumped 3.9% in May and are now up 23.5% from a year ago. Energy accounted for more than 60% of the monthly increase in inflation. Food prices rose a modest 0.2% during the month, while shelter costs increased 0.3% and remain up 3.4% year-over-year.

Encouragingly, underlying inflation pressures remained relatively contained. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, increased just 0.2% in May and 2.9% over the past year. Core commodity prices actually declined 0.1%, suggesting that broader price pressures remain muted despite higher energy costs.

Several categories, including transportation services, motor vehicle insurance, and new vehicles, posted declines, while airline fares, medical care, and recreation costs moved higher. The report suggests that while consumers continue to feel the impact of rising energy and everyday living costs, inflation outside of energy remains comparatively stable.

The families who end up in the most difficult financial situations didn’t ignore obvious warning signs.

A protection gap that only became visible after a health event. A tax exposure that nobody caught until the bill arrived. A beneficiary designation that was never updated after a divorce. An investment strategy built for accumulation that was never adjusted for retirement.

None of these announce themselves in advance.

They hide in the gaps between your financial professionals — the accountant and the advisor, the estate attorney and everyone else. In the parts of the picture nobody is looking at because everyone assumes someone else is.

This is why coordination matters more than any single decision.

You can make every individual choice correctly and still have significant gaps — if no one is looking at the full picture.

The U.S. labor market remained resilient in May, with employers adding 172,000 jobs - well above expectations of 85,000 - and prior months' figures revised higher. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%, where it has remained within a narrow range for nearly a year.

Hiring was led by leisure and hospitality, health care, and local government, underscoring continued strength in consumer-facing and service-oriented sectors. Labor force participation remained stable at 61.8%, and the number of unemployed workers held near 7.3 million.

While headline employment data points to an economy that remains on solid footing, some underlying trends warrant attention. Long-term unemployment rose by 524,000 over the past year to 2.0 million, representing 27.5% of all unemployed workers, and analysts continue to monitor signs of consumer strain, including lower savings rates and rising delinquencies.

Overall, the May employment report reinforces the view that the U.S. economy continues to expand despite elevated interest rates and lingering concerns about consumer spending.
