The Department of Labor reported that the headline consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.1% in July, in contrast to a decline of 0.4% in June. However, the headline CPI print was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. On the other hand, the headline CPI rose 3.4%, annually in July, down from the 3.5% annual rise in June.
Core CPI (excluding volatile items like food and energy) rose 0.2% in July after remaining unchanged in June. Like CPI, the core CPI print was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Core CPI rose 2.5% annually in July, below the 2.6% annual rise in June.
The benign CPI and core CPI data for July may enable the Fed to stay away from hiking the benchmark interest rate in its upcoming September FOMC meeting. Fed officials will consider both the July and August inflation readings before meeting in September. Before today’s inflation data, the CME FedWatch tool has assigned a 50% probability for a September rate hike.
