EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- Core CPI inflation was in-line with expectations at 0.29% M/M after three months of upside surprises averaging 0.37% M/M in Q1.
- The three-month rate eased four tenths to 4.1% annualized but the six-month increased a tenth to 4.0% for its third month above the Y/Y rate of 3.6% Y/Y (which eased two tenths).
- “Supercore” inflation was close to expectations at a still hot 0.42% M/M but it’s at least partly offset by vehicle insurance adding another large 0.19pp as expected and with PCE-relevant insurance far softer.
- Primary rents were one of the more notable downside surprises in an otherwise mostly as expected report for core items, whilst softer than expected retail sales at the same time helped drive the dovish reaction.
- Fed rate pricing continues a shift away from hawkish extremes and now entertains a first cut in September again with another cut by year-end.
- With the burden of proof still to the downside, there will need to be a deterioration in labor data in short order for serious consideration of a July cut (9bp priced).
