Inflation ticked up a bit

“Inflation picked up slightly in November, according to data released Wednesday by the Labor Department, but likely not by enough to derail the Federal Reserve’s plans for another rate cut,” reports  Sylvan Lane.

Details: “Consumer prices rose 0.3 percent in November and 2.7 percent over the past 12 months, according to new Consumer Price Index (CPI) data released Wednesday. The monthly inflation rate and annual inflation rate each rose by 0.1 percentage points from their October levels, in line with consensus estimates from economists.”
