There is a lot of green on the screen today! The October CPI rose .4% headline and .3% core, both two tenths below expectations. The headline y/o/y increase was 7.7% vs 8.2% in September. The core rate was higher by 6.3% y/o/y after the 40 yr high print of 6.6% in the month before. This has investors thinking the Fed is close to being done with rate hikes and they are piling into to everything except the US Dollar.
