Inflation Slows Down in US, but Concerns Remain
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
New inflation data shows unexpected slowdown in U.S. prices, with consumer price index rising by 2.7% in November. Despite this, many Americans still feel the impact of high living costs. The report was delayed due to the recent government shutdown, which also affected October data collection. Economists had predicted a higher increase, but the actual rise was a surprise. Energy prices, particularly fuel oil, saw a significant jump. Core inflation, excluding food and energy costs, rose by 2.6%, the lowest since March 2021, suggesting a potential shift in the overall trend. The Federal Reserve will closely watch December inflation numbers to decide on interest rates.
