US INFLATION: May CPI (1/2): Core M/M Expected Slightly Lower, Supercore Steady

Jun-12 11:44

Here are a few areas to watch for today's May CPI release (0830ET/1330UK):

  • Sequential core inflation is seen remaining relatively steady in May at 0.3% M/M (median; 0.28% average unrounded) vs 0.29% in April, per MNI’s compilation of sell-side previews.
  • Headline CPI is expected to pull back fairly sharply to 0.1% (median; 0.12% average unrounded) vs 0.31% in April, owing largely to a drop in energy/gasoline prices on a seasonally-adjusted basis.
  • Both core services and core goods inflation prints are seen relatively steady versus April, with owners’ equivalent rent (OER) and rents at around 0.4% M/M each, used car and lodging prices rebounding, and car insurance inflation cooling slightly but still very high.
  • This outcome should likewise keep “supercore” (core services ex-shelter) inflation fairly steady also around 0.4%, albeit with a decent dispersion of analyst expectations (0.36-0.46%).
