What happened

Well supportedReported by 20 independent outlets

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index climbed 0.4% in October, surpassing economists' forecasts of 0.3%. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, increased 0.3% for the third consecutive month. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller advised that policymakers should consider a half-percentage-point rate increase in December to contain inflation.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The stronger-than-expected inflation report reinforces expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates at its December meeting. Waller argued that settling for a smaller increase would risk the Fed's credibility. Furthermore, ING expects the European Central Bank to raise rates alongside the Fed, which may affect the EUR/USD exchange rate.
