Core Goods CPI Extends Soft Run

US DATA
  • Away from services, there weren’t too many surprises in core goods at -0.09% M/M in Oct after -0.39%.
  • Used cars prices fell -0.8% in Oct vs an analyst average of -0.6% (range +0.7 to -1.7%) after -2.53%.
  • New cars were a larger downward surprise but not massively so, dipping -0.1% vs some looking for small increases after +0.3%.
  • Prices of core goods ex used vehicles increased just 0.01% M/M in Oct after -0.08%, and have now averaged -0.02% M/M over the past seven months.
  • This has been in keeping with the moderation in supply chain pressures and the NY Fed’s GSCPI suggests we could see some further downside momentum ahead after a recent further dip in the GSCPI.
