US DATA: PCE-Relevant Components In PPI Cool After A Strong July

Sep-10 12:41
  • Our crude proxy for core PCE contributions stands at 0.05pps in August after offsetting revisions with a still strong 0.11pp in July (vs 0.12pp previously) and 0.04pp in June (vs 0.03pp).
  • PPI portfolio management and investment advice: 1.9% M/M after a near enough unrevised 5.5% M/M. We’d only seen Nomura on this beforehand (2.2%) and don’t think this reading will have surprised many although if anything it's on the slightly soft side considering recent strength in equity markets.
  • As you can see in the contributions chart below, this category has been providing a lot of the upside recently.
  • Our collection of health care services is seen as having a second month of zero M/M contribution, in what’s a clear soft patch since earlier in the year.

  • Curves steeper: 2s10s +0.402 at 53.111, 5s30s +0.860 at 112.185.
  • Soft PPI heads enough to re-trigger USD weakness, erasing the entirety of the morning's tepid gains on Poland/Russia headlines. GBP/USD's show back above 1.3550 tops out at 1.3563, still well short of yesterday's highs into 1.3590.
