Inflation data and tech‑company decisions create a dynamic backdrop for investors watching the market.
The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 2.7% year-over-year in November, in line with market consensus. Core inflation reached 0.3% year-over-year. In October, the CPI stood at 2.6%.
The data indicates potential room for the Federal Reserve to continue interest rate cuts while maintaining proximity to its inflation target. However, the upward trend observed since September (2.4%) remains a cause for concern.
