(assuming it does come out at +0.4% for January)

CPI report for January due Tuesday Feb 14, 8:30 am ET

Dec.   Expected for January
-----   ---------------------
-0.1%   +0.4%     Consumer price index
+0.3%   +0.3%     Core CPI

(edit: oops, see below: the BLS revised the December CPI from -0.1% to +0.1%, sigh, and the Core CPI was revised up in Dec from +0.3% to +0.4%)

THIS GRAPH FROM BEFORE THE REVISIONS:


CPI - just looked now, 2/12/23: 12 months of 2022:
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUSR0000SA0&output_view=pct_1mth
0.6 0.7 1.0 0.4 0.9 1.2 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.5 0.2 0.1

Core CPI - just looked now, 2/12/23: 12 months of 2022:
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUSR0000SA0L1E&output_view=pct_1mth
0.6 0.5 0.3 0.5 0.6 0.6 0.3 0.6 0.6 0.3 0.3 0.4

Edited to add: Even so, if the predictions come out to be true (cpi:+0.4% and core cpi:+0.3% in January), the year over year figures will drop, because last January's numbers (Jan 2022) were +0.6% for both. The year over year is essentially a moving average of the last 12 months, and as far as changes in the year-over-year, what drops off the back end of the series (January 2022) is just as important as what gets added to the series (January 2023). True for any moving average. We tend to focus on the front end and almost forget about what drops out of the back end.

Big Edit to add:

The stock market pulled back this week amid mixed earnings news flow, and the weakness intensified on Friday after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released revised data showing a 0.1% month-over-month increase in consumer prices for December, as opposed to the 0.1% drop reported initially. The BLS recalculates seasonal adjustment factors every year and adjusts data going back five years. The annual rate, which is not seasonally adjusted, was maintained unchanged.


Looks like I'll have to revise my graphs, sigh. Also my various calculations of last 3 months, last 6 months annualized. Tuesday will be busy busy day.

higher for December than initially reported. Some other months also revised. Thanks to BLS annual revisions. Winston Smith has been very busy. Now we have to do our part and catch up. The old numbers never existed.
