1. INFLATION
• The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 8.2% year-over-year through September and 0.4% month-overmonth, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This month’s 40 basis point increase comes after just a 10-bps increase in August.
• Shelter, food, and medical costs were the largest contributors to the seasonally adjusted monthly numbers and were partially offset by a 4.9% decline in gasoline prices. The food index rose 0.8% month-overmonth, while the overall energy index fell 2.1% month-over-month, as natural gas and electricity increases moderated the decline in gas prices.
• Core CPI, which removes food and energy prices from the calculation, is up 6.6% over the last 12 months and 0.6% month-over-month.
