Core CPI accelerated to 3.7% annualized over the past three months, the hottest three-month pace recorded since January 2025. That re-acceleration matters because it arrives just as markets were beginning to price in a more dovish Federal Reserve into year-end.
The supercore reading is the more alarming figure. At 5.5% annualized, it marks the strongest pace since April 2024 and represents a sharp jump from the prior 4.6% reading. Supercore, which strips out food, energy, and shelter costs, is closely watched by policymakers as a proxy for underlying demand-driven price pressures.

A supercore reading at this level hands the December rate-hike camp its most concrete piece of evidence yet that inflation is still running above target. Rate-sensitive assets, including longer-duration bonds and high-multiple equities, are the first in line to reprice when data like this crosses the wire.
Investors will now be watching for any Fed communication that either validates or pushes back against the tightening signal embedded in these numbers. Until then, the data shifts the near-term balance of risk firmly in the direction of rates staying higher for longer.
