🚨 BREAKING Fed’s Favorite Inflation Gauge Hits 2.8% — Rate Cuts in Trouble?

📈 Inflation: 2.8% (Oct: 2.7%)

💸 Consumer spending: +0.5% (still strong)

💼 Income growth: slowing slightly

💾 Savings rate: ticking up to 3.5%

Consumers are still spending faster than inflation — meaning demand hasn’t cooled enough.

The Fed already cut rates 3 times in 2025.
