US DATA: Core PCE Estimates Still Likely Near 0.22% M/M For Friday’s Sept Report

Dec-03 17:27
  • Within the import price data, air passenger fares increased a non-seasonally adjusted 14.0% M/M in September.
  • That repeats the 13.9% in Sep 2024 but is strong compared to the 6.4% M/M averaged in the prior three years, leaving a reasonable seasonally adjusted increase.
  • On its own, we estimate it could be worth 1-2bp for core PCE but its impact on tracking will clearly depend on what analysts had already pencilled in.
  • For instance, Morgan Stanley have lowered their core PCE inflation estimate 1bp to 0.22% M/M as they estimate airfares increased 2.6% M/M after their own seasonal adjustment vs an estimated 3.2% M/M.
  • We don’t imagine today’s release will have materially changed analyst estimates for Friday’s core PCE release, seen at a median 0.22% M/M after last week’s PPI report. MS had been at the higher end of a narrow range of 0.20-0.23% we’d seen after PPI.
  • This follows 0.23% M/M in Aug and 0.24% M/M with MS previously seeing scope for a +1bp revision to Aug and +1.5bp for Jul.
