CPI report today: Inflation cools in November but red flags emerge
Follow MarketWatch's live coverage of the November CPI report and what the latest inflation read could mean for the economy and interest rates next year.
www.marketwatch.comI don’t have real-time CPI data in this chat, but I can point you to reliable sources and summarize what to expect.
- Where to check today’s CPI release: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) CPI release page for the latest indexes and tables. Markets often react to the headline year-over-year CPI and the core CPI.
- Typical timing: The CPI data are usually published at 8:30 a.m. Eastern on the release day, with a detailed press release and technical series available on the BLS site.
- What to look for in the report:
- Headline CPI year-over-year change
- Core CPI (ex food and energy) year-over-year change
- Month-over-month changes for both headline and core
- Any notable shifts in shelter, energy, or food components
If you’d like, I can fetch and summarize the latest CPI release details (headline number, core number, and market implications) and provide a brief bullet-point outlook. I can also generate a quick chart if you want a visual of recent CPI trends.
