Key Quotes
“The entire uptick is coming from energy prices, while we look for core inflation to hold steady at 2.5% y/y, with recent trends showing a deceleration as we move past the peak impact from exchange rate pass-through. It looks to us like the peak for core inflation trends was back in April.”
