US: CPI (Jun) Tuesday 13, 14:30

% mm/yy SEB Cons. Prev. CPI (headline) 0.5/5.0 0.5/4.9 0.6/5.0 CPI ex. food energy (core) 0.5/4.1 0.4/4.9 0.7/3.8 • Inflation in June is expected to slow compared to April and May but continue to be elevated compared to the pre-pandemic trend. Auction prices on used cars levelled out in June but since there is a lag, we predict some further upward pressure on CPI prices this month. • Furthermore, prices on transport and hospitality services are expected to continue to normalize after declining last spring, even-though some prices are approaching pre-pandemic trends. • Underlying price trends are difficult to assess. Some upward pressure on producer prices on consumer goods is starting to emerge, while wage inflation appears to be largely stable. We, the Fed as well as the market expect the current upturn in inflation to be temporary, but uncertainty continues to be higher than normal. SWE: CPI (Jun) Wednesday 14, 09:30

% mm/yy SEB Cons. Riksbank Prev. CPI 0.1/1.3 ------0.2/1.8 CPIF 0.1/1.6 --- 1.5 0.2/2.1 CPIF ex. Energy 0.0/0.9 --- 0.9 01./1.2 • After a downside surprise in May we have lowered the forecast for CPIF ex energy during the summer, our estimate is in line with the Riksbank. Energy prices have continued to rise and revision to headline inflation this summer is smaller while the forecast towards the year-end has been revised slightly higher. • Large uncertainty about the size of the summer sales on clothes and risks for spikes in prices on car rentals and travel services means that the near-term forecast is more uncertain than normal. We see slight downside risks to the inflation rate during the summer. • A stronger krona is putting downward pressure on goods prices and PPI on consumer goods is declining at the fastest pace since 2010. Higher international prices on food is an upward risk towards the end of this year and in 2022 and there are also some signs of higher international prices on manufactured consumer goods.
