On a monthly basis, the U.S. consumer price index increased by 0.3% in November, aligning with market forecasts. In October, the monthly CPI growth was around 0.2%.
For core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and food prices, the annual CPI reading stood at approximately 3.3% by the end of November, matching both market expectations and the previous month’s core inflation figure of 3.3%.
Monthly core CPI inflation also saw a 0.3% increase in November, consistent with market forecasts and the 0.3% growth recorded in October. These stable inflation readings reflect a broader sense of equilibrium in U.S. consumer prices, offering insights into market trends and economic conditions.
