Czech inflation begins its climb to the top
中文标题
捷克通胀开始攀升至顶部
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Czech September CPI rose to 2.5% y/y, with core near 3.1% and services at 4.6% y/y. Fuel, regulated energy and a weaker koruna are lifting goods prices; food disinflation is seen reversing. ING assigns an 80% probability to a November CNB hike and 30% to a December move if inflation surprises higher, framing this as rebalancing toward a higher equilibrium rate rather than the start of a full hiking cycle.

Key arguments
- September CPI at 2.5% y/y exceeded consensus by 0.1ppt, driven by fuel and regulated energy prices with core near 3.1%.
- Goods inflation jumped to 1.2% y/y from 0.2%, reflecting higher Brent prices, refined products and a weaker koruna, with more FX pass-through expected in October.
- Food prices remain benign but a small rise in unprocessed food signals a turnaround; ING sees this and regulated prices as early second-round effects of the Strait of Hormuz conflict.
- An 80% probability of a November hike is a rebalancing toward a higher equilibrium rate, not a genuine hiking cycle, given a negative output gap; a further hike in December carries 30% odds.

A hike in November seems increasingly likely, as rates adjust to a new equilibrium Higher regulated energy prices in September is starting to feed into inflation Second-round effects start to materialise Czech headline inflation increased to 2.5% year-on-year in September, while the price level remained unchanged from the previous month.
Both readings came in 0.1ppt above the market consensus, yet in line with our forecast.
For sure, September’s rising Brent Crude prices and refined products took its toll, while the weakening koruna went in the same direction.
