Core conclusion · Tlines extraction

September US CPI came in hotter than expected and broad-based: headline rose 0.6% m/m and 3.7% y/y, core 0.34% m/m and 2.6% y/y, with gasoline up 9.1% m/m accounting for over half the monthly all-items increase. Natixis says the print revives debate for the October Fed meeting but still expects a pause, though a hawkish market could deter the FOMC from surprising with a hold.

Key arguments

  • September inflation was hotter than anticipated and broad-based, undercutting hopes that the summer lull was not a blip.
  • Core goods rose 0.25% m/m on hot recreation, education and communication commodities, while shelter rose 0.37% on higher rents and hotels.
  • The supercore index softened versus August at 0.42%.
  • Natixis judges avoiding an October hike as prudent to assess data by December and avoid political fallout before early-November midterms, but sees the data giving hawks more ammunition.

Main risks

  • A hotter-than-consensus print could force the Fed into a hike rather than a hold in October.
  • If markets keep pricing a hike, the FOMC may be reluctant to surprise with a pause.
  • Broad price pressures across goods and shelter risk entrenching inflation above target.
