Odaily Planet Daily News: The monthly rate of overall inflation in the United States in September was one-tenth of a percentage point higher, reaching 0.2%, which increases the reason for a 25 basis point interest rate cut next month instead of a 50 basis point cut. At the same time, the number of initial jobless claims soared by 258,000, but this will be affected by factors such as hurricanes. The CPI rose 2.4% in September, the smallest year-on-year increase since February 2021, and the increase in August was 2.5%. The annual growth rate of inflation has slowed from the peak of 9.1% in June 2022, coupled with a sharp slowdown in the inflation indicators tracked by the Federal Reserve to achieve its 2% target, which allowed the Federal Reserve to shift its focus to the labor market and cut interest rates by an unusually large 50 basis points in September.
