Many experts do not fully trust the latest CPI inflation report.

🔸The U.S. government has delayed the release of the inflation report for November, and the number is far below expectations.

🔸The overall inflation rate is 2.7%, and the core inflation rate is 2.6%, lower than the approximately 3% that many experts expected.

🔸The report was delayed due to the government shutdown and the cancellation of October data, so statistical agencies had to use estimated assumptions.

🔸The biggest issue lies in housing inflation, particularly the rent index, where in some areas, the rent index may be calculated as zero (compared to October and November), making inflation appear lower than it actually is.

🔸Many experts believe that as data returns to normal, inflation may rise again in the coming months.
