Jun Inflation Preview: Transportation Bounce Effect

GERMAN DATA

Germany (28% of EZ HICP) – 1300UK Thu 29 Jun (after state-level data in the morning). Consensus:

  • HICP: 6.8% Y/Y (6.3% prior) / 0.4% M/M (-0.2% prior)
  • CPI: 6.3% Y/Y (6.1% prior) / 0.2% M/M (-0.1% prior)
  • Main themes: Y/Y inflation is seen rebounding on both headline and core as the 9 euro transport ticket introduced a year ago drops out of the base effect. Strong package holiday prices are also seen boosting the overall (unpublished in preliminary) core figure. (See MNI's June Eurozone Inflation Preview for more detail)
State-by-state release times (estimated, subject to change):
  • 0630UK North Rhine Westphalia (21.1% of nat'l weighting)
  • 0830UK Rhineland-Palatinate (4.9%)
  • 0900UK Bavaria (16.9%), Baden Wuerttemberg (14.1%), Lower Saxony (9.4%), Hesse (7.7%), Berlin (4.0%), Brandenburg (2.9%)
  • 1000UK Saxony (4.6%)

Some sell-side views:

  • Goldman Sachs: 6.8% Y/Y driven by strong base effect in core on 2022's 9 euro public transportation ticket. Energy -0.4pp to 4.6% Y/Y or 0.4% M/M, and unprocessed / processed food inflation (5.5% / 15.4% Y/Y respectively). Core to 6.2% vs 5.1% prior due to the base effect. In SA terms, core inflation below Q1 but above April due to strong travel prices.
  • JPM: 0.2% M/M, 6.3% Y/Y, HICP: 6.0%
  • Nomura: HICP 6.3%
  • BofA: 6.5% HICP (0.0% M/M), CPI 0.1% and YOY 6.2%
