Argentina October Inflation Rises to 2.2%
Housing and utilities led the increase as a natural gas tariff hike pushed up prices, while core inflation fell to 1.5%, the lowest since July 2025.
- Consumer prices in Argentina rose 2.2 percent in October 2026, exceeding the 1.9 percent consensus forecast provided by the official RT economic calendar.
- Housing, water, electricity, and gas costs jumped 4.2 percent during the period, according to INDEC, the national statistics bureau, accounting for much of the monthly pickup.
- Despite the monthly spike, the 12-month inflation rate eased to 33.1 percent from 33.4 percent as the high base from one year ago dropped out, even as core inflation remained at 1.5 percent.
- President Javier Milei's currency management strategy faces intense scrutiny regarding its impact on growth and credit, intensifying market concerns as bond yields rose.
- Observers are closely watching November utility data to determine if the recent increase was a temporary one-off, as a reading at or above the current monthly rate would confirm building price pressures.
