[Wu Blockchain News] US October CPI Rises 0.4% MoM, Core CPI Up 0.3%, Both Above Expectations

US October CPI rose 0.4% month-over-month, topping the 0.3% forecast but slowing from September's 0.6% gain, while core CPI climbed 0.3% versus expectations of 0.2% and matched the prior reading, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The hotter-than-expected core print keeps inflation pressure in focus for Federal Reserve policy deliberations. Year-over-year headline and core figures were not published because October 2025 data was missing due to the U.S. government shutdown, leaving markets without the full inflation picture. Traders will watch how the incomplete data set shapes rate expectations and the next BLS release for the delayed annual readings.
