November Consumer Prices Rose 2.7%, Below Expectations

A delayed inflation report shows consumer prices rose 2.7% over the past year, coming in below economist expectations. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, increased 2.6% year over year.

In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, producer Kailyn Bennett breaks down why this CPI report looks different than usual, following a government shutdown that disrupted October data collection. Some figures reflect a two-month window, rather than standard month-to-month changes, adding important context for investors.

We look at what's driving inflation now — including food, energy, and shelter costs — and how markets reacted to the softer-than-expected data.
