#CPI The headline today is of course core slipping back to 0.3% MoM and all items falling back to 7.7% YoY on basis effects. But let's have a look behind the headlines...
Core goods are now decisively DEflating - down -0.4% MoM - as global supply chains are reopening in earnest and demand is slackening. The only real stubborn price pressures remaining in core goods are in new vehicles and some related parts. The chips issue still the culprit.
