Deutsche Raises CPI Forecasts Following Strong June Rents

US OUTLOOK/OPINION

Although June's CPI readings came in close to their above-consensus estimates (which had been +0.64% M/M core, +1.33% M/M headline), Deutsche noted two areas which deviated from their expectations: airfares (which declined 1.8%), and rents (rent of primary residences rose the fastest since 1986, OER since 1990).

  • The rent pressure was particularly noteworthy, especially as "given the way that the BLS calculates these inflation rates, the monthly changes in rents tend to be particularly sticky."
  • On that basis, Deutsche has raised its inflation forecasts: now seeing core CPI at 6.2% Y/Y at end-2022 (Q4/Q4; up by 0.2pp vs prior estimates); 3.9% in 2023 (+0.1pp), with the path resulting in a slight downgrade for 2024 to 2.7% (-0.1pp).
