Market Jitters Return as Cooler CPI Surprises Wall Street

A softer‑than‑expected U.S. Consumer Price Index reading sent a ripple through financial markets today, creating an unusual dynamic: good news on inflation, but renewed pressure on major stock indexes. A Cooling CPI, but a Nervous Market The latest CPI report showed inflation easing more than economists anticipated. Under normal circumstances, that would be a welcome sign—suggesting the Federal Reserve may have more room to consider rate cuts later in the year. But markets don’t always behave logically in the moment. Today, the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq all slipped as investors reassessed what the data means for corporate earnings, interest‑rate expectations, and the broader economic outlook.

Diplomatic Chill: Israeli Envoy Criticizes Ottawa's Stance Under Carney

Ambassador of Israel to Canada Iddo Moed tours the convention floor the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries annual defence industry trade show CANSEC, in Ottawa, on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.

Relations between Canada and Israel have cooled significantly since Prime Minister Mark Carney assumed office, according to Israel’s ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed. In a recent interview, Moed expressed concern over what he described as a “deterioration” in dialogue between the two governments, attributing the shift to Carney’s firm stance on the Gaza conflict and his support for Palestinian statehood.

Moed noted that since Carney’s election, there has been no direct communication between the Canadian prime minister and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He suggested that Ottawa’s co-signing of a joint statement with the UK and France in May—demanding an end to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and threatening sanctions—marked a turning point in bilateral relations.

The ambassador also revealed that his office made multiple attempts to engage in consultations with the Carney administration, particularly around the recognition of a Palestinian state, but received no response. “My impression is that once the decision was made, there was no room for any further dialogue,” Moed said.

Despite the diplomatic strain, Moed emphasized that Israel has not escalated the issue to a formal protest. Meanwhile, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert defended Carney’s approach, calling him a friend of Israel and supporting his pursuit of a two-state solution—an idea Netanyahu continues to reject.
