Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
US October CPI rose 0.4% month-over-month, exceeding the 0.3% consensus and keeping Federal Reserve rate-hike expectations elevated; core CPI matched September’s 0.3% gain and also topped forecasts, with energy up 0.7%, transport services up 0.8% and housing up 0.3%. Fed Governor Waller said a 0.50 percentage-point December hike should be considered, a stance that weighed on US equities while lifting the dollar and Treasury yields. The data matter because they suggest inflation is cooling more slowly than hoped, reinforcing the case for tighter policy. Watch the Fed’s December decision and whether European and Japanese policymakers follow with additional hikes.
