The November CPI report showed a slight easing in headline inflation to 3.1% and a steady core inflation rate at 4%. Economists believe the Federal Reserve will maintain its current stance against inflation, with no immediate dovish shift expected. The report indicated high inflation in specific categories like car insurance and transportation. Market analysts expect the Fed to avoid discussing rate cuts until possibly the second half of 2024. Treasury yields remained stable, and markets are pricing in rate cuts starting May 2024. The U.S. dollar index fell slightly, while the SPY ETF was flat and the QQQ ETF was slightly higher post-report.
