U.S. CPI (October): Mixed Reading
• Actual: +0.4% MoM
• Expected: +0.3% MoM
• Previous: +0.6% MoM
Report highlights:
Persistent pressure: The figure came in one-tenth above the market forecast (+0.4%), showing that consumer costs are not easing as quickly.
Slowdown: This marks a notable moderation from the strong +0.6% rebound seen in September.
Less visibility: The lack of a year-over-year figure (due to last year’s data blackout) means relying on more volatile monthly readings to gauge the Federal Reserve’s next steps.
Market impact: This could keep bond and currency markets cautious, as a CPI reading above expectations tends to dampen expectations for aggressive interest rate cuts.
