Citi‘s Most Read – Economics

implication is that supply-chain pressures are likely to linger. Consistent with this

view, our Citi Global Supply Chain Pressure Index has already tightened

significantly and, as such, we see some looming challenges for global growth and

inflation. Equity View: The sectors most at risk, including Aluminum,

Petrochemicals, and Fertilizers, look poised to endure a sustained period of

pressures. In contrast, Helium & Chip Manufacturing and North American

Transport strike us as better positioned.

US Economics - Inflation Weekly – What inflation will the Fed care about?

We use this inflation weekly to take stock of the various drivers of inflation data

through the first half of the year. The debate around the drivers of inflation and the

appropriate way to measure inflation will become increasingly in focus with new

Fed task forces. Tightening policy to counteract inflationary pressures that have

resulted from strong investment demand would likely have a trade-off of weighing

further on labor and housing markets, which are already not a source of

inflationary pressure. We expect data in the next three months to further highlight

the divergence among inflation signals, with core CPI falling below 2.5% YoY as

soon as August while core PCE is still stuck above 3%.
