Headline inflation was a welcome surprise this morning, landing at 2.8% versus the 3% consensus. Just 12 months ago, it was hitting horrifying 4-decade highs of 8.1%
Today's average core reading was less impressive, however. It eased only 1/10th to 3.8%. Until core descends into the BoC's 1-3% control range, it'll be restless nights for team Macklem at the BoC.
The good news:
- Headline inflation typically leads core lower
- CPI in the 2% range should take inflation expectations down another notch
