June CPI to Surpass 10%? Any Impacts?
June 2022 CPI data are scheduled to be released on July 13, 2022, at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time.
The White House expects June’s consumer price index figures to be “highly elevated” as Americans grappled with substantial increases in the cost of gasoline and food, but said the reading was“already out of date” because of falling energy prices.
1. Oil Prices Plunge in June, But Inlfation remains high?
Analysts say energy prices are causing inflation to be expected to be higher, although core CPI excluding food and energy is likely to be lower.
According to FactSet, economists are now forecasting that CPI will increase by 8.8% yoy in June, up from 8.6% in May. Oil prices began to fall in mid-June, so the CPI will increase by as much as 1% in June under the influence of higher energy prices.
Excluding energy and food prices, economists expect the core CPI to increase by 5.7% yoy and 0.5% yoy in June, both down from 6% and 0.6% in May.
2. Possible Influence on Stock Market
1) Bearish
The 8.8% CPI is higher than May's 8.6%, which is bound to trigger renewed speculation that "inflation has not yet peaked. The market may then speculate whether the Fed will raise interest rates more aggressively, such as by 1% instead of 0.75%.
Currently CME's Fedwatch shows that the market believes that the Fed will raise rates by 1% in July with a probability of 9.4%, which will certainly make the broader market decline.
2) Bullish
But on the other hand, the market is forward looking. After the recent sharp price pullback in commodities, particularly oil, the market may believe that while inflation was high in June, it will fall back in July and then rebound sharply.
What's your expectation of June CPI: still around 8% or surpass 10%?
How will market react after CPI releases: rise or fall?
How will Fed respond: 50/75/100bps?
