Headline dropped to +3.2% from 3.7% in Sep vs 3.3% expected, Core CPI dropped to 4.0% from 4.1% vs 4.1% expected. Dollar and Yields plunge. - Following two months of higher than expected US CPI numbers (mainly driven by higher energy prices and healthcare costs), the October CPI print was expected slow materially (from 3.7% to 3.3% yoy on headline CPI) while the core was expected to remain unchanged at 4.1%. But today’s CPI print is a miss across the board with both headline and core numbers coming in below expectations on both a sequential and annual basis. - Headline CPI came in at 3.2%, below the 3.3% expected, while MoM CPI also missed expectations, being vs. consensus at +0.1% and sharply below last month's 0.4%.
