The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) June 2025 Short-Term Energy Outlook forecasts a cooling in global oil markets, with Brent crude prices forecast to average $66 per barrel in 2025 and decline to $59 in 2026, down from $81 in 2024. The outlook expects steady production growth outside OPEC+ and easing demand in OECD economies. Conversely, natural gas prices are projected to rise, fueled by strong U.S. LNG export growth, with the Henry Hub spot forecast revised to $4.00/MMBtu in 2025 and to $4.90/MMBtu in 2026, compared with $2.20/MMBtu in 2024. Domestic crude oil production is expected to hold near record levels, averaging 13.4 million barrels per day through 2026, but growth is seen as slowing. U.S. electricity consumption is projected to grow 3% in 2025 and 5% in 2026, up from the previous outlook’s 2% annual growth through 2026. Real GDP growth is forecast to slow 0.1 percentage points to 1.4% in 2025, which could dampen broad energy demand.

The Labor Department reported that the Consumer Price Index increased by 0.1% in May (seasonally adjusted), following a 0.2% increase in April. The all items index grew by 2.4% in the past year, a slight increase from April’s 2.3%. May’s monthly increase was largely driven by a 0.3% rise in the shelter index. The food index also increased 0.3%, while the energy index saw a 1.0% decline as the gasoline index decreased 2.6%. The energy index is down 3.5% over the last year. Core CPI inflation (all items less food and energy) edged up by 0.1% in May, following a 0.2% increase in April, maintaining an annual rate of 2.8%. Notably higher year-over-year indexes included motor vehicle insurance (+7.0%), shelter (+3.9%), household furnishings (+2.7%), medical care (+2.5%), and recreation (+1.8%).

The Labor Department reported that the producer price index for final demand, which tracks the prices producers pay for goods and services, increased by 0.1% in May. This followed a downwardly revised 0.2% decline in April and a 0.1% decrease in March. Over the 12 months ending in May 2025, the PPI rose by 2.6% on an unadjusted basis. The increase in May was primarily driven by a 0.1% rise in final demand services, this follows a 0.4% decline in April. This rebound was largely attributed to a 0.4% gain in margins for final demand trade services. Prices for final demand goods rose 0.2% in May after a 0.1% increase in April, with over 80% of the gain coming from a 0.2% rise in goods excluding food and energy. The core PPI, which excludes food, energy, and trade services, edged up 0.1% in May after a 0.1% decrease in April. For the 12-month period ending in May 2025, core PPI inflation stood at 2.7%, slightly cooler than April’s 2.9% core rate.
