November CPI data is about to be released, but market focus has already shifted to December inflation expectations.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the November CPI data on December 18, but due to the government shutdown hindering data collection, the report's reference value is significantly reduced. The market has shifted its focus to December data, with expectations of a 3.1% year-over-year increase in November CPI and a 3.0% year-over-year increase in core CPI, reflecting a mild rebound trend.

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will release the November CPI data on December 18th, but this report may not be as valuable as you think.

What’s the reason? Recently, the U.S. government shutdown disrupted data collection. The BLS was unable to conduct normal price surveys from October 1 to November 12, directly leading to missing October’s overall CPI data and the month-over-month data for November, with almost every sub-item’s MoM comparison becoming blank.

What does this mean? Simply put, the reference value of the November CPI data is severely discounted. The market has already started shifting its focus, locking onto the inflation data for December — that’s the real point of interest.

The current market consensus is that the November CPI year-over-year increase is 3.1%, with core CPI up 3.0% YoY. This trend continues the mild rebound that began mid-year, with no surprising changes. But the data gaps have indeed made traders more focused on the true signals from subsequent data.

The data is all broken, what else is there to see? December is the real deal.

November CPI data is missing, with no month-over-month change at all. No wonder the market is looking toward December... This is going to be interesting.

Uh, the government shutdown has messed up the data, and the November CPI report has become fake data. Alright, let's wait for December, that's the real one. The Federal Reserve's whole stunt is just ridiculous. One look at the fake data, where's the promised transparency? So now everyone is betting on December? This pace is quite exciting. The data gaps caused by the government shutdown, no wonder traders have all turned to .

The government shutdown is really unbelievable; it can even crash data. Still trying to manipulate market trends? That's hilarious.

The government shutdown is really ridiculous. The data is all messed up, and we still have to wait until December. Feels like this game is a bit rigged.

The government shutdown messed up the data, and this month's CPI report is basically useless. We've already been eyeing December.
