Anna Wong: Key factors to watch in April CPI report
April CPI driven by spike in rents

Anna Wong highlights three important points to monitor in the upcoming April Consumer Price Index (CPI) release. She emphasizes a spike in rents inflation, which could be about twice the normal monthly pace, as the primary factor for the recent strong core inflation reading.

Wong also indicates that this June figure corrects for a previously flat rents inflation reading that occurred last October.

Wong has previously reported that Alphabet's generative AI revenue increased by 800 percent, while cloud operating income tripled to $6.6 billion, exceeding forecasts in the latest quarter, according to company figures. Another recent analysis from AltTradr examined the timing of inflation impacts and suggested that a persistent blockade could give the U.S. a more favorable position compared to delayed financial gains if disruptions last. The two recent notes point to closely tracked shifts in tech performance and broader macroeconomic risks.
