US indices dived at the start of this week's last trading session due to the reading of the highest US inflation since 1981. Market expected headline price growth to stay unchanged at 8.3% YoY. However, there were some rumors that reading may actually be higher than that amid impact of rising fuel prices, among others. Indeed, it was so. Headline price growth accelerated to 8.6% YoY. On month-over-month basis, headline price growth increased 1.0% MoM (exp. 0.7% MoM). On the other hand, core gauge decelerated but less than market expected. The reading is likely to reinforce need for future rate hikes and may shelf discussions over rate hike pause in September. We also learned very weak data on Michigan sentiment and inflation expectations in the short and long term, which reinforced the scale of the declines. At the moment all Wall Street indices are losing over 2%.
US Univ. Of Michigan Sentiment Jun P: 50.2 (est 58.1; prev 58.4)
- Current Conditions: 55.4 (est 62.9; prev 63.3)
