November Inflation Rises 2.7%, Pressuring Fed's Stance

TL;DR Summary
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for November showed core inflation remains stubbornly high, with a 0.3% monthly increase, matching forecasts. Despite this, the S&P 500 rose as markets anticipate a Federal Reserve rate cut next week. However, persistent inflation may lead the Fed to signal fewer rate cuts in 2025. Core goods prices rose, driven by increases in car and apparel prices, while core services inflation eased slightly. The Producer Price Index (PPI) data, due Thursday, will provide further insights into inflation trends.
