January 1, Inflation Slows Unexpectedly in November
Wyatt’s Take
- Price increases in November were less than experts guessed.
- Wall Street thought inflation would be higher than it was.
- A government shutdown held up the official report.
Prices for consumers went up by 2.7% a year in November, the Labor Department said. That is less than what financial insiders expected.
The predicted number was 3.1%, but the real increase was lower. Folks who follow the market got a surprise from this report.
The release of the numbers was late. The delay came from the recent government shutdown, which slowed the work of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Keep your eyes open, because when inflation changes like this, it can affect your wallet and what you pay at the store.
Wyatt Matters
When prices go up slower, families can breathe a little easier. It shows how national events like shutdowns ripple right back to our kitchen tables.
