Within the core CPI data, a huge sequential slowdown in core goods prices: +0.44% M/M, less than half the pace of the previous 4-months' average (+1.03%). BUT core services accelerated to the fastest (+0.53% M/M) since 1992.
- As many had anticipated, core goods are coming back to Earth, but just as services prices are beginning to pick up.
