🇺🇸US Inflation Moderates; Fed Rate Cut Expectations Rise December's CPI data reveals moderate inflation, with the annual rate at 2.7% and a monthly increase of 0.3%, aligning with expectations. The core CPI, excluding energy and food, showed a slightly lower annual increase of 2.6% and a monthly increase of 0.2%, below forecasts. These figures, unaffected by the previous federal shutdown, strengthen market anticipation of potential Fed monetary easing later in the year. The market anticipates the interest rate will remain unchanged at the upcoming Fed meeting on February 28. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel
