Following the data release, the market now expects the Fed to keep the federal funds rate at 3.50%–3.75% at its June 17 meeting, possibly maintaining that level through the end of the year.

U.S. stock index futures also weakened, while the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose to 4.44%. Among commodities, WTI crude oil climbed about 3% to $101 per barrel, further fueling concerns over persistent inflation.
