ORIGINAL · NewsquawkPREVIEW - US October PPI data will be released at 13:30GMT/08:30ESTRead originalHide original
US PPI is expected to rise 0.4% M/M in October (prev. 1.3%), while the annual rate is seen accelerating to 6.6% Y/Y (from 6.3%). Core PPI is expected to increase 0.3% M/M (prev. 0.7%), with the annual rate seen unchanged at 5.0%. The release follows hotter than expected October CPI data, released earlier in the week, which saw headline prices rise 0.4% M/M (exp. 0.3%) and core prices increase 0.3% M/M (exp. 0.2%). Pantheon Macroeconomics said the CPI report was consistent with a 0.35-0.40% M/M increase in core PCE, ahead of its November 25th release. The PPI data will provide further insight into inflationary pressures ahead of the 9th December FOMC meeting, particularly after hawkish remarks from Fed Governor Waller, who this week suggested further tightening was needed, and that a 50bps December hike could be warranted if core CPI printed around 0.3% or higher. Money markets are currently fully pricing a hike of at least 25bps in December, with around an 12% probability of a larger 50bps move.
October PPI is due after hotter-than-expected CPI intensified debate over a December hike, with markets already pricing at least 25 basis points of tightening.
