The CPI increased by 0.2% month-over-month, aligning with economists&#8217; expectations. The year-over-year inflation rate rose to 2.6%, up from 2.4% in September. Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, remained steady at a 3.3% annual rate.<\/p>\n<p><b>Federal Reserve Expectations:<\/b> Following the CPI data release, market participants are increasingly anticipating further monetary policy easing. The CME FedWatch tool now indicates an 83% probability of a 25 basis-point rate cut in December, up from 60% just a day earlier. This shift in expectations is influencing trading strategies and asset allocations.<\/p>\n<p><b>Corporate Earnings:<\/b> Third-quarter earnings reports continue to impact individual stocks.
