The article discusses the latest Consumer Price Index data, which indicates that inflation remained below market expectations in September. This trend is largely attributed to the economic policies implemented during President Trump’s administration. It notes that inflation has averaged 2.5% since Trump took office, which is significantly lower than the 5% average during President Biden’s presidency. Additionally, private sector wages are projected to increase. However, the article cautions that the ongoing government shutdown could hinder the release of future inflation data, potentially affecting economic analysis and progress.
