Key Quotes
“On Wed (13 Oct), the latest CPI data released by US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed consumer prices in Sep rose by 5.4% y/y from 5.2% in Aug, and at the fastest pace since Jul 2008. The outcome beat market expectation for a 5.3% gain. On a m/m basis, the headline CPI edged higher at 0.4%, ahead of both the reading for Aug and market expectation of 0.3%.”
“Core CPI (which excludes food and energy) in Sep rose by 4% y/y (same pace as in Aug) and 0.2% m/m, higher compared to 0.1% in Aug.”
“YTD to Sep, the headline CPI averaged about 4.0%, which is on track to meet our forecast of 4.5% for 2021, before easing to 2.0% in 2022. Core CPI averaged around 3.1% YTD and is also headed towards our 3.5% target for this year before easing to 1.6% in 2022. We anticipate further inflationary pressures in the US in the remaining months of the year, given the range of factors driving up prices that will take time to resolve: recovering consumer demand, logistics bottlenecks, supply disruptions including key components such as semiconductors and in major production hubs including Vietnam and China, as well as elevated commodities and energy prices.”
