U.S. CPI rose 0.4% month-over-month in October, above the 0.3% forecast but below September's 0.6% increase, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Core CPI increased 0.3%, exceeding expectations of 0.2% and matching the previous reading. Year-over-year figures for headline and core CPI were unavailable due to missing October 2025 data caused by the U.S. government shutdown.
