April CPI -3


PPI numbers for April roughly tripled expectations for the headline at +1.4% and core doubled them at +0.6%.  March was also revised higher.  The market is ignoring this for now but this more forward looking data is indicative of how sticky inflationary pressures are likely to be.

April CPI numbers came in at +0.6% and +0.4% for the headline and core, respectively.  Though the former number is in line with expectations and lower than last month, the latter is a tenth higher than most estimates.  American equity index futures were already in gradual decline and didn't alter course, but the already minimal chances of a rate cut discussed yesterday have nearly halved.
