📉 #Inflation in the US: Consumer Price Index (CPI) annual rate slows to 2.7% in November, falling below the economists' projection of 3.1%.
📊 The data is surprising, but the analysis requires caution:
• The 43-day government "shutdown" canceled the October data.
• The "core" CPI (excluding food/energy) also slowed to 2.6% (vs. 3.0% in September).
• Retailers may have pressured prices down with year-end discounts in November.
⚠️ Economists warn that the slowdown may be temporary. The expectation is for a possible re-acceleration in December.
🔗 Additionally, up to 70% of the cost of import tariffs may reach consumers by March, putting pressure on prices in the medium term.
