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.

Annual inflation rates for most Consumer Price Index (CPI) categories were unavailable because federal officials did not collect October 2025 survey data during a government funding lapse. The missing data prevent a direct comparison with the same month last year for those categories.
