US core CPI rose 0.3% month-over-month in October, matching August and September, pushing the three-month annualized rate to 3.7%—up 2.1 percentage points from the 1.6% pace through July, according to BLS data cited by the Wall Street Journal. The acceleration has shifted the Federal Reserve's debate from whether to hike again to how fast to move, with officials divided over the size and speed of a December rate increase. The reacceleration in underlying inflation matters because it keeps pressure on the Fed to stay restrictive even as markets look for a pivot. Watch the December FOMC meeting for the pace of any hike and subsequent CPI prints for whether the three-month trend cools.
