The October CPI report could have significant implications not only for investors and policymakers but also for everyday consumers, as it will shed light on the cost of living and the purchasing power of households in the United States. Economists expect Headline CPI to rise +0.1% from September and 3.3% from the prior year period. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, is projected to rise +0.3% from the prior month and 3.7% year-over-year. CPI has come in hotter than expected in the past two months. This followed a string of five straight months of cooler data. Last week’s University of Michigan Consumer Survey posted a pick-up in inflation expectations. Equities digested this and yields were lower following the news. Expectations will be for a hot number so it will be interesting to see if bulls press equities higher if this comes in light.
