Core CPI Prints Cooler Than Expected Despite Biggest Jump In Energy Prices Since 2005
While PCE showed some signs of higher energy prices leaking into inflation prints, it was still February data. As we previewed, today's CPI data is for March and will bear the full brunt of the Iran War's impact on energy costs after Core CPI fell to its lowest in four years in February.
The headline CPI soared 0.9% MoM (as expected) and while it was a big MoM jump, Consumer Prices rose 3.3% YoY (up from +2.4% YoY in February), but below the 3.4% YoY exp...

This is the highest headline CPI YoY since April 2024 and biggest MoM jump since June 2022.
Obviously, Energy dominated the rise in headline CPI...

Source: Bloomberg
That is a record low for the headline sentiment and Current Conditions and lowest print for Expectations since 1980.
Demographic groups across age, income, and political party all posted setbacks in sentiment, as did every component of the index, reflecting the widespread nature of this month's fall.
