About CPI MoM — Israel
DEFINITION
Israel's CPI MoM rose to 1.200000% in May, matching estimates and accelerating sharply from April's 0.400000%. The inflation increase signals a notable monthly price pressure surge after two months of modest gains. Market focus will remain on upcoming central bank decisions amid this inflation uptick. Updated 5/15/26
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Inflation prints feed directly into central-bank policy expectations and real-yield calculations, and are among the most rate-sensitive releases on the calendar. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Apr 2026): actual 1.2 %, consensus 1.2 %. Prior reading (Mar 2026): 0.4 %. Before that (Feb 2026): 0.2 %.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a materially lower reading versus the latest print. Current dynamics are the primary headwind in the projection.
