🚹JUST OUT: U.S. CPI comes in HOTTER than expected, with both headline and core inflation beating forecasts.

Headline CPI YoY: 3.7% vs. 3.6% expected and 3.4% prior

Core CPI YoY: 2.6% vs. 2.5% expected and 2.4% prior

Both headline and core inflation accelerated from last month, signaling renewed price pressures.
