Goldman Sachs expects August CPI to come in hotter than Wall Street’s consensus, citing used cars, airfare, car insurance, and tariff-affected goods. The bank sees core CPI up 0.36% month-over-month and headline CPI up 0.37%, with tariffs adding about 0.14 percentage points to core. Despite near-term pressure, Goldman still expects inflation to cool into year-end as housing and labor costs ease.
