The US CPI report will be released tonight at 21:30, and the year-over-year data will be missing.
Original headline美国 CPI 报告将于今晚 21:30 公布，年率数据将缺失
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
The U.S. October CPI report will be released at 21:30 Beijing time, but it will omit both the headline and core year-over-year figures because the October 2025 government shutdown prevented Bureau of Labor Statistics staff from collecting that month's price data, leaving no year-ago baseline for comparison. Markets will instead have to rely on month-over-month readings to gauge inflation. Economists expect October 2026 CPI to rise 0.3% month-over-month and core CPI to rise 0.2%, both reflecting cooling momentum. The missing annual figures matter because they remove the most closely watched inflation gauge used by traders to price Federal Reserve policy, leaving the monthly prints as the sole signal. What to watch next is whether the monthly slowdown in price growth is sustained in subsequent reports once annual comparisons resume.
