Pretty frisky inflation number with one apparent anomaly
- Headline is 0.796% MoM and 4.3% YoY.
- Core 0.275% MoM and 2.3% YoY.
- Many components on trend: OER 0.3%, medical 0.4%, recreation 0.1%, tobacco 0.2%
- Apparel was off-trend, rising 0.8%.
- Within apparel, mens and women’s clothing were both negative for the month. So the sole source within this category was ‘toddler and infant’ clothing, rising 1.7%.
- This would have knocked down core enough to round down to 0.2%.
- But persistence of inflation here disconcerting to Fed.
