The US CPI data came near/lower than expectations.

Digging into the data showed the start of the impact from tariffs. More specifically, “goods CPI” marked the fastest monthly rise in two years with a gain 0.7%. That rise implies a 0.35% gain in core PCE according to Pantheon Macroeconomics.

The PPI data tomorrow will be an influence on that estimate but initial bias is to the upside.
