U.S. Inflation Slows to 0.4% in October
The monthly increase eased from 0.6% in September. Missing October 2025 survey data left most annual comparisons unavailable.

U.S. consumer prices rose 0.4% in October, slowing from September’s 0.6% increase in a key reading for Federal Reserve rate expectations and crypto markets.
