#巨鲸动向 Wall Street is waiting for the CPI data for November to be released on Thursday, which is the first inflation report since the historic government shutdown in the United States. Economists generally predict an annual rate of 3.1%, with core inflation at 3.0%. Analysts are focusing on whether the inflation rate can drop to the '2s', which is seen as a key psychological threshold that influences market sentiment and expectations for interest rate cuts next year. However, due to delays in data collection caused by the government shutdown, this report lacks monthly change data and is considered by the industry to be a 'dirty' report, facing challenges in its integrity and accurate interpretation.
