00:00 The most significant numbers this week are the US inflation numbers, which came less than expected,

00:09 and despite the signs we had this week, it was a high probability that we would be surprised negatively.

00:20 The US inflation numbers came at 0.3% monthly, either for the CPI indicator or the main one, which excludes food and energy prices.

00:32 If we look at the annual numbers, the CPI numbers came at 3.4%, as expected, this is the annual reading.

00:41 And for the core numbers, they also came positive.

00:45 The question today is not only about these numbers, but it is also about some of the elements we were observing,

00:53 which are related to housing and energy prices.

00:56 First, for the shelter, which represents about a third of the CPI indicator,

01:02 the housing prices rose by 0.4% monthly.

01:07 The problem is that these are the same numbers we had monthly for the past three or four months.

01:14 This indicates a high level of stickiness in the inflation in housing prices.

01:19 The other component is related to energy prices, which rose by 1.1% monthly,

01:27 and gasoline prices rose by 2.8%, which is a very high rise.

01:34 The problem is specifically for housing,

01:37 because today, according to many economists, the US federal government should not start lowering interest rates

01:44 before making sure that it is specifically for housing elements.

01:47 We started seeing a decline in inflation numbers.
