Consumer price index increases 5.4% in June vs. 5% estimate

Inflation continued its rapid surge in June, rising its fastest pace in nearly 13 years, the Labor Department reported Tuesday.

The consumer price index increased 5.4% from a year ago, the largest jump since just before the financial crisis. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been expecting a 5% gain.

Stripping out volatile food and energy prices, the core CPI rose 4.5%, the sharpest move for that measure since September 1991 and well above the estimate of 3.8%.

Inflation has been rising due to a number of factors, including supply chain bottlenecks, extraordinarily high demand as the Covid-19 pandemic eases, and year-over-year comparisons to a time when the economy was struggling to reopen in the early months of the crisis.

Much of the price pressures have come from sectors particularly influenced by the shutdown – used car prices, air fares and transportation costs, to name three.

However, housing and shelter prices continue to climb, adding fuel to the belief that inflation could stick around for a while.

    On past occasions, CPI means people are spending and economy is good. Now it's inflation-fear related.

    This probably will impact the market for few days and once the better earnings kept coming out, market hopefully would rebound back.
