    Hotter-than-expected CPI could push stocks lower and revive rate-hike concerns.

    “A hotter than expected CPI could very well send stocks right back down from Monday's gains, igniting concerns about rate hikes and an overheated economy.”

  3. Michael McKeeNegativeNov 7, 2026· Bloomberg Intelligence

    Wage growth is not keeping pace with inflation, leaving people financially behind.

    “average hourly earnings are up by 3.1% and on a rolling three-month basis, somewhere between 3.1%, 3.9%. But then you look at inflation, CPI is 3.7%. So people are feeling like they continue to fall behind.”
