November 2017 US CPI report 13 November 2017
- Prior 2.0%
- Core 1.7% vs 1.8% exp y/y. Prior 1.8%
- Real average weekly earnings -0.3% vs 0.0% exp m/m. Prior -0.1%. Revised to 0.1%
- 0.8% vs 0.4% prior y/y. Revised to 0.3%
- Real average hourly earnings 0.2% vs 0.4% prior y/y. Revised to 0.2%
Core soft and mixed on the wages.
The soft core number has done the damage here. Weekly earnings on the month are soft but much better y/y. USDJPY has fallen to a low of 112.97 and I’ve taken a small long at 113.06 on this dip. If the Fed has a hike on their minds today, this data doesn’t change anything. What it might do (as I wrote prior to the data) is have the market scaling back the timings of future hikes.

Thanks again, Ryan. I’m confusing myself again coz Fed properly hiking tonight and the CPI not that bad….but the market reacted dramatically. I feels better after reading your article. U r my light in this tunnel ^v^
No problem Icy. The algos are always going to react on the release, it just depends how far they push it. I’m in a small long because I thought it was an overreaction so I’ll see how it does into the FOMC. Any half decent rally and I’ll get out before the announcement.
