US DATA

Below is a table of the major contributors/drags on core CPI in December.

  • As noted, core goods had a flat contribution to the overall figure, with deflation in the ex-vehicle categories receding sharply from November (largely as November's sharp drop in apparel CPI faded), and used car inflation softening slightly.
  • Within core services, housing contributed slightly less than in November, with lodging, medical services, car insurance, and airfares edging higher. Combined, all other services were flat on the month.
