Alphacast High Frequency CPI: Inflation was 2.2% MoM in September
September saw a renewed rise in inflation. Monthly inflation reached 2.2% MoM, quite above the 1.6% MoM rate posted in August, slowing down the prevailing disinflationary path. As a result, the annual figure increased slightly to 32.9% YoY, staying well under the triple-digit mark. This outcome reflects softer increases in regulated prices. Throughout the reference month, seasonal, core and regulated prices picked up. Core inflation came in at 2.48% MoM, quite above the 1.8% MoM rate from the previous month. Seasonal goods posted a 2.05% MoM gain, surpassing August’s 1.0%, and regulated prices rose 2% MoM, a marked increase from August’s 1.2%. Core items accounted for 1.3 percentage points of headline inflation, regulated items contributed 0.6 pp, and seasonal components added 0.3 pp. Excluding regulated prices, monthly inflation would have hovered closer to 1.6%. The carry-over effect from August to September stood at 0.7%, lower than last month’s figure.

Analysts expect that the CPI change will stay around the 1.8% mark at most. Reflecting a cautios disinflationary trend, inflation expectations for August were increased to...
