Federal Reserve weighs faster interest rate hikes after hot October inflation data
October consumer prices rose 0.4%, with annual inflation around 4% and core prices up about 2.8%, prompting Fed officials to signal a possibly faster pace of rate increases. Markets price a December hike as near-certain, and Treasury yields rose after the report. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh has avoided forward guidance, leaving markets to interpret mixed official commentary.
