Goldman Sachs forecasts the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May to increase by 0.11% month-over-month (m/m) and 3.4% year-over-year (y/y). The core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, is expected to rise by 0.25% m/m and 3.5% y/y. Bank of America (BofA) projects a 0.1% m/m increase in headline CPI and a 0.3% m/m increase in core CPI, keeping the y/y rate unchanged at 3.6%. The consensus among major financial institutions, including JPMorgan, Barclays, and Morgan Stanley, is for a 3.4% y/y increase in CPI. Goldman Sachs' Core CPI forecast is consistent with a 0.19% increase in Core PCE. The Fed's CPI Nowcast projects a 0.08% m/m increase in headline CPI for May.
