U.S. Inflation Rose 0.4% in October, More Than Expected
Core inflation rose 0.3%, above forecasts, as the missing year-over-year reading left policymakers without a full October comparison.
- The BLS reported Tuesday that the consumer price index increased 0.4% in October, exceeding the 0.3% increase economists expected and signaling fresh warning signs for The Fed's inflation fight.
- Last year's government shutdown prevented The Bureau from collecting sufficient data in October 2025, leaving no year-ago figures available for comparison in this month's report.
- Stripping out volatile food and energy, core CPI increased 0.3% against a 0.2% forecast, while gas prices fell below $4 per gallon; Diesel prices, however, remained 70% higher than year-start.
- Federal Reserve governor Christopher Waller said earlier Tuesday that if core inflation rose 0.3% or higher, a 0.50% rate hike "should be considered" at December's meeting.
- Inflation has not hit The Fed's 2% target since early 2021, keeping the central bank on track to raise interest rates next month amid persistent price pressures.
