  • The main driver is a smaller inventory drag (contribution from -1.74 to -1.42), likely helped by the small beat in today’s preliminary durable goods report for May (core orders +0.5% vs +0.1% expected and shipments +0.8% vs +0.2%).
  • The consumption contribution held steady in the latest update at circa +1.8pps after taking repeated steps down as confidence slides with soaring inflation, having been eyed above 3pps in estimates this time last month.
