Forget a Rate Cut for Now. The Inflation Data Won’t Move the Fed.
The prices Americans pay for everything from toothpaste to housing rose 0.3% in November from a month earlier, the Labor Department said. That’s slightly hotter than the 0.2% pace economists anticipated, but likely not enough to stir the Federal Reserve to cut rates further.

Dow slightly lower as stocks open mixed before last Fed meeting of year
U.S. stocks opened mixed on Wednesday ahead of an eagerly awaited policy update by the Federal Reserve which could deliver clues on the interest rate outlook. The S&P 500 was up 0.2% to 3,137. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 27 points, or 0.1%, to 27,854. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.2% to 8,630. All three benchmarks ended Tuesday within 1% or less of their record closes set nearly two weeks ago on Nov. 27. The Fed is expected to stand pat but could point to how the interest rate path for next year may shape up. Investors saw signs of an inflation pickup on Wednesday, with consumer prices up 0.3% in November. The prospect for a delay to tariffs would also remain in focus amid comments by White House advisers Larry Kudlow and Peter Navarro who have both suggested import duties could still take place at the end of the week.
