Less Progress For BoC’s Core Than Some Hoped In July

CANADA DATA
  • CPI trim/median came in as expected in July at 3.65% Y/Y although it offered a milder deceleration than first thought as a 0.2pp downward revision for median left the average at 3.7% Y/Y in June.
  • However, this was the recent of a downward revision back in Jul’22 which hasn’t materially changed the prior trend to June.
  • We’re left with trim/median increasing a robust 0.34% M/M in July after 0.32% in June and 0.20% in May, but April’s 0.45% drops out.
  • As such, the important 3-month rate cooled from 3.9% to 3.5% but perhaps offered less progress than some had hoped for.
  • Other core measures run lower though, with ex food & energy unchanged at 2.5% after the previously seen sizeable moderation in June, and ex 8 most volatile controlled for indirect taxes as low as 2.1% annualized.
