Aug-08 15:50
Next week sees the CPI report for July released on Tuesday at the usual 0830ET.
For an early look at unrounded analyst estimates, we see a median of the below nine analysts looking for headline CPI at 0.24% M/M in what could test Bloomberg consensus of 0.2.
Core CPI meanwhile is seen at 0.32% M/M (cons 0.3) with a current range of 0.27-0.35% M/M after the 0.23% M/M seen in June. It would be the strongest M/M since January.
Particularly early core PCE tracking is currently between 0.29-0.33% from these analysts, an acceleration from 0.26% M/M in June. It would be the strongest M/M since February.
