Institutional analysis: Storms and chip shortages could lead to higher inflation in the United States in the coming months

The unadjusted US CPI for August, announced on Tuesday, is expected to remain at 5.4%, above the consensus index of 5.3%, as of September 12. The rise in inflation has passed, but hurricane damage and insufficient supply of chips have pushed the CPI to a final level of 5.0% to 5.5% in recent months. As wages rise faster and return to the next job, the most important thing to keep in mind is housing costs, which account for around a third of the CPI. House prices are expected to decline further in 2021 and accelerate in 2022. (Golden Corner)
