Moving Markets:

U.S. Retail Sales rose at a less-than-expected rate in May, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday, as consumer demand waned due to prolonged inflationary pressures ahead of the summer months.

Sales rose 0.1% last month, one-tenth of a percentage point below analyst estimates but coming in slightly ahead of April's downwardly revised monthly decline of 0.2%. On an annual basis, headline retail sales rose 2.3%.

Excluding auto purchases, sales declined 0.1% in May compared to analyst estimates for an 0.2% increase.

Elsewhere, Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler said in remarks delivered at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington said Tuesday that the central bank may issue at least one rate cut this year as long as inflation continues to ease across the economy.

"I believe economic conditions are moving in the right direction," Kugler said. "If the economy evolves as I am expecting, it will likely become appropriate to begin easing policy sometime later this year."
