April Inflation Data Preview: Why Analysts Expect Price Pressures To Cool
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Wall Street anticipates a slight decrease in the April Consumer Price Index (CPI) and core CPI, with expectations of 3.4% and 3.6% year-over-year inflation rates, respectively. Goldman Sachs aligns with these forecasts, highlighting potential trends in car insurance, health insurance, and housing rental costs. The firm also predicts a gradual decrease in core CPI inflation to about 0.2% by the end of 2024. Financial markets, especially the S&P 500 and interest rate-sensitive sectors, show significant reactions to CPI data releases, with non-profitable tech stocks like DraftKings Inc. and DoorDash Inc. being particularly volatile.
