Morgan Stanley Expects the Federal Reserve to Maintain a Wait-and-See Approach

Investing.com -- Core consumer prices increased 0.38% month-over-month in April, according to Morgan Stanley analysis released Tuesday, slightly above the firm's forecast of 0.36% and consensus expectations of 0.3%.

The investment bank noted that tariff pass-through effects continued but are slowing, with the tariff impulse approaching its end.

Oil price spillovers into core inflation remained contained, with noticeable acceleration limited primarily to airfares, Morgan Stanley said.

Shelter costs accelerated due to shutdown payback effects, though the firm anticipates continued deceleration in this category going forward.

Morgan Stanley stated that the oil shock's full impact remains uncertain. The firm expects the Federal Reserve to maintain a wait-and-see approach despite early indications of core disinflation.
