• Inflation Drops
  Yesterday’s ...
  Yesterday’s inflation report showed that US consumer price growth came in lower than expected in October and dropped from the month before. It’s a hopeful sign that Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s rate hikes, paired with easing supply chain snags, are starting to cool off inflation.
  
  The deets:
  

  
  
  • The consumer price index increased 7.7% annually and 0.4% monthly. That yearly figure is the slowest rate since January.
  
  
  • But more important is the slowdown in core CPI, which is a better gauge of inflation because it strips out volatile food and gas prices. Core CPI rose 0.3% monthly in October, a big drop from 0.6% in September and August.

  The stock market remains open Friday, Nov. 11, the Veterans Day holiday in the U.S., even though it counts as a holiday for the $53 trillion American bond market.
  
  That means a full day of trading for stocks, which appear poised to book a robust week of gains, despite continued fears of a potential U.S. economic recession as the Federal Reserve works to tame stubbornly high costs of living.
  
  Signs of a potential cooling off on the inflation front led the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +3.70% to advance 1,200 points on Thursday, with it, the S&P 500 index SPX, +5.54% and Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +31.35% all booking their best daily gains since 2020.
