Bi-Weekly Annual CPI Expected To Increase

MEXICO
  • Inflation is expected to accelerate in the first two weeks of August to 8.55% y/y from 8.14% previously, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Higher core inflation and energy and government regulated inflation should lead the uptick, with lower non-processed food inflation partially offsetting the advance. Data released at 1200BST/0700ET.
    • Aug. Bi-Weekly CPI, est. 0.35%, prior 0.23%#
    • Aug. Bi-Weekly CPI YoY, est. 8.55%, prior 8.14%
    • Aug. Bi-Weekly Core CPI, est. 0.35%, prior 0.30%
    • Aug. Bi-Weekly Core CPI YoY, est. 7.82%, prior 7.75%
  • Banxico Deputy Governor Galia Borja said policy makers seek to determine a path that guides inflation to its goal rather than discussing an exact terminal rate, according to a transcript of an interview she had with Citi.
    • While discussion of a possible recession has gained ground, Borja said the latest data point to a recovery, even if it remains incomplete in Mexico.
    • Borja said it’s not prudent at the moment to talk about rate reductions given complex scenario. (BBG)
