Briefing by News4U · First published

Sina Finance reports that the October CPI rose 0.4% month-on-month, above the 0.3% forecast, and core CPI rose 0.3%, above the 0.2% forecast. The report also notes that Fed Governor Christopher Waller said he supports a December rate hike and would back a 50 basis point increase if inflation continues to accelerate. Analysts from Charles Schwab, Pantheon Macroeconomics, the University of Michigan, Northlight Asset Management, the Brookings Institution, LPL Financial and Euro Pacific Asset Management offered differing views on whether the December move will be 25 or 50 basis points.
