CPI Data Drop: The Wait Is Worse Than Aunt Agatha’s Birthday Bash!

Well, dash my wig! The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for November is finally about to make its grand entrance – today at the oh-so-precise hour of 8:30 AM ET. No October shindig this time, old boy, thanks to the government throwing a bit of a wobbly and shutting down. 🍸

The wise heads in the financial grumble club are predicting a headline figure ticking up to 3.1%, and the core CPI – that sneaky, stripped-down version – might be lurking at around 3.0%. Meanwhile, the monthly growth is expected to tiptoe along at about 0.3%. Just enough to keep everyone guessing and clutching their teacups nervously. ☕️
