US DATA: Travel Categories, Medical Services Largely Responsible For Core Uptick

Aug-12 13:06

As usual, core services contributed the majority of overall core CPI in July, worth around 0.28pp of the 0.32% M/M reading. That's up from 0.19pp in June (on a core CPI reading of 0.23% M/M). 

  • As seen in the table below, the increased services inflation pressure vs June's report was almost entirely due to airfares (0.05pp more of a contribution), lodging (0.03pp more, albeit still contributing negatively), and medical services (0.02pp more). The key housing categories had a relatively flat contribution vs June.
  • Core goods once again contributed 0.05pp, though the composition was different this month: used and new vehicles contributed slightly positively (after subtracting 0.04pp in June), with all other core goods seeing their contribution fall to 0.04pp from 0.09pp prior.
