πŸš€ Core Inflation Data Falls Short of Expectations Amid Iran Conflict

On April 10, Jin10 reported that March's core inflation data, excluding the significant rise in energy prices due to the Iran conflict, fell below expectations. According to Jin10, Omair Sharif from Inflation Insights noted that this positive trend might not last. Sharif explained that the core price increase was suppressed by declines in two categories: legal services and medical goods, which are unlikely to remain at their current low levels in the coming months. Additionally, airfare prices rose by 2.7% last month and may accelerate further. He stated, β€œAside from gasoline, today's data largely does not reflect the impact of the Iran conflict, so I expect core inflation readings to strengthen in the coming months.”

Citigroup economists have made a preliminary estimate that the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index will show a monthly increase of 0.3%, based on today's Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. According to Jin10, this figure exceeds the Federal Reserve's target of a 2% year-over-year increase but is an improvement over the 0.4% rise recorded in February. The Citigroup team noted that they will need to consider Producer Price Index (PPI) data to make a more accurate prediction for the PCE.

πŸš€ Annex Wealth Management Economist Discusses Impact of Rising Gasoline Prices on CPI

Annex Wealth Management's Chief Economist, Brian Jacobsen, commented on April 10 that while he anticipated a rise in overall CPI due to increasing gasoline prices, the actual data was surprising. According to Jin10, Jacobsen noted that there is currently no evidence of high energy prices affecting core inflation. He explained that this process might take time to manifest, as businesses are likely to absorb most of the initial impact. In a way, consumers cutting back on other discretionary spending could potentially lower core inflation rather than increase it.
