U.S. CPI Data Suggests Possible Fed Rate Cuts

Recent U.S. consumer price index (CPI) data has given market analysts hope for potential interest rate cuts. The September CPI, released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, rose 0.3% on a monthly basis and 3.0% year-over-year, falling short of expectations and signaling potentially softer inflation. While this could indicate the Federal Reserve might reduce interest rates to combat economic weakness, experts are divided on the exact timing and scope of these changes.
