U.S. annual inflation accelerates in line with expectations in November

The Labor Department announced on Wednesday the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) rose by 0.3 per cent m-o-m in November, following an unrevised 0.2 per cent m-o-m gain in the previous month. This was the indicator’s strongest monthly performance since April (+0.3 per cent m-o-m). 

Over the last 12 months, the CPI surged by 2.7 per cent y-o-y, accelerating from an unrevised increase of 2.6 per cent y-o-y reported for the period ending in October. This marked the strongest 12-month advance since July (+2.9 per cent).

Economists had forecast the U.S. CPI to increase 0.3 per cent m-o-m and 2.7 per cent y-o-y.

According to the report, a 0.3 per cent m-o-m advance in the index for shelter accounted for nearly forty per cent of the monthly gain in the index for all items last month. In addition, the food index rose by 0.4 per cent m-o-m over the month and the energy index increased by 0.2 per cent m-o-m.

The core CPI, excluding volatile food and fuel costs, jumped by 0.3 per cent m-o-m in November, the same pace as in the previous three months. 

In the 12 months through November, the core CPI climbed by 3.3 per cent, at a similar pace as in the 12-month periods ending in October and September.

Economists had expected the core CPI to increase by 0.3 per cent m-o-m and 3.3 per cent y-o-y in September.
