- US (MNI) – Analyst forecasts for October's CPI report show a central expectation that sequential inflation will come in relatively steady compared with September. The MNI consensus for core CPI is 0.30% m/m (median) / 0.29% (mean) unrounded, vs 0.31% prior, while headline is seen at 0.20% m/m (median) / 0.21% (mean), vs 0.18% in September. These are in line with BBG consensus medians, and as suggested by the means, there is a slight downside bias to core. Forecasts appear aligned on a fairly sharp pickup in core goods prices, driven by used cars.

The gap between the fixing and estimate was the widest since early August.
