New government data released Thursday shows inflation slowed over the last two months, rising 2.7% year over year in November compared to 3% in September. Prices rose about 0.1% in both October and November. Yearly price growth still sits above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. According to past government data, inflation appeared to bottom out earlier this year, only to climb once again. "We're still sort of expecting that the impacts of tariffs are yet to have pushed all the way through the system, meaning that there's going to be some upward pressure from that and also likely some upward pressure from an acceleration in economic activity early in 2026," Mark Hamrick, a senior economic analyst at…...
