September CPI Projection: Inflation Stabilizes Near 3% Amidst Tariff Challenges

Reported about 14 hours ago

Despite expectations of a 0.4% monthly rise in headline CPI, concerns about the impact of tariffs on goods prices and a modest adjustment in service sector inflation reflect a complex economic landscape as the Fed prepares for potential rate cuts amid the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
