U.S. CPI U.S. consumer inflation in November is expected to post its strongest year-on-year rise in about 18 months, reflecting persistent cost pressures and the impact of import tariffs on prices.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics will release headline and core CPI data on Tuesday. However, month-to-month figures won’t be available because October data was disrupted by the 43-day government shutdown.
With limited short-term indicators, economists suggest focusing on annual inflation trends or combined two-month changes to better gauge underlying price momentum.
