Key drivers

  • June import-price momentum cooled to +0.3 after very strong April-May prints
  • Nonfuel imports were still rising at +0.4 in June and carry about 90% weight
  • Late-July crude-oil spike raises fuel-import upside risk
  • Broad dollar firmness modestly offsets imported-goods price pressure
  • First-print target is the NSA BLS Table 1 all-commodities monthly percent change
