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.
