Underlying US inflation rose in November from a year earlier at the slowest pace since early 2021, according to a report complicated by the federal government shutdown.
Wow! But how?
  • Core CPI inflation in the US at its lowest level since March 2021.
  • The largest monthly declines since 2023!
While everyone expected +10 basis point increase, it actually fell on the face by -40 basis points.
So, inflation is now at its closest point to the Fed's 2% target since the pandemic.
2026 predictions, huhhh??

Just wait for the "correction" of these results :-)

My guess is that it’s a blip from cutting off the government spigot during the shutdown.
If so, expect a big rebound.

That, or Trump twisted a few arms and threatened a few jobs.

Could be, but I have reason to believe that’s not how interference would manifest.
Some form of self-censoring is more likely, imo.

I don't. I think this is all scheduled. Trump wants printer to go brrrrrrrr badly.

Yeah, that is weird. But then, with the delayed reports out of the feds, a lot of things are suspect now.
