Economy

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported ^[8] that the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.4% in October on a seasonally adjusted basis, following a 0.6% rise in September, although year-over-year comparisons were unavailable due to a lapse in appropriations. The monthly advance was heavily driven by a 0.3% rise in the shelter index, which accounted for over 30% of the overall all items increase. The food index increased 0.5%, reflecting a 0.4% rise in food at home and a 0.5% gain in food away from home, while the energy index moved 0.7% higher, led by a 1.0% increase in gasoline and a 0.9% rise in electricity, which offset a 0.8% decline in natural gas. Meanwhile, core CPI (all items less food and energy) rose 0.3% in October, matching the monthly increases recorded in both August and September, with notable increases in recreation (+0.8%), hospital services (+0.8%), motor vehicle insurance (+0.7%), and medical care (+0.3%), while used car and truck prices declined 1.2% and communication edged down 0.1%.

The National Association of REALTORS® reported ^[9] that existing-home sales decreased 5.5% in October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.75 million, down 8.8% year-over-year. Total housing inventory stood at 1.59 million units, up 1.3% from September and 4.6% from October 2025. The median existing-home sales price for all housing types increased to $416,700, rising 0.4% year-over-year. NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun noted that home sales fell to their lowest level since August 2010 as buyers adjusted to mortgage rates reaching their highest levels since 2000, aside from a single month in 2023. Despite the slowdown, distressed property sales remained historically low at 2% of total transactions, reflecting solid financial positioning among homeowners due to sizable housing wealth accumulation, with Yun emphasizing that consistent job growth could release sizable pent-up demand should mortgage rates eventually decline.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported ^[10] that the Producer Price Index (PPI) for final demand increased 0.3% in October on a seasonally adjusted basis, following a 1.4% increase in September, while unadjusted final demand prices rose 6.5% from a year earlier. The monthly advance was primarily driven by a 0.5% increase in final demand goods, reflecting a 1.3% rise in food prices and a 0.5% gain in goods prices excluding food and energy, which more than offset a 0.1% decline in energy prices. Final demand services increased 0.2%, led by a 2.0% jump in transportation and warehousing, including a 3.9% rise in truck freight transportation, which more than offset a 0.2% decline in trade service margins. Meanwhile, core PPI (final demand less food, energy, and trade services) advanced 0.5% in October and stood 4.9% above its year-earlier level, while final demand goods prices climbed 10.2% over the 12 months, marking the largest year-over-year increase since October 2022.
