Powell Signals Fed Will Raise Rates If Needed

Underlying US inflation rose in November at the slowest annual pace since early 2021, an unexpected improvement in a report muddled by the government shutdown.
The core consumer price index, which excludes the often-volatile food and energy categories, increased 2.6% in November from a year ago, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data out Thursday. The overall CPI climbed 2.7% in November from a year ago.
The longest-ever government shutdown prevented the BLS from collecting much of the October price data. That not only limited the agency’s ability to determine month-over-month changes for the broader measures of inflation, but some economists noted it likely impacted the annual November figures as well.
Despite numerous caveats, the report offers some hope that inflationary pressures are easing after remaining stuck in a narrow range since early this year. The BLS said the core CPI rose just 0.2% over the two months ended in November, restrained by declines in costs of hotel stays, recreation and apparel. Prices of household furnishings and personal care products rose.
However, several economists noted that the two-month change in key shelter categories, which are some of the biggest components of the CPI, was basically flat — calling the calculations into question.
Today's show features:
Jason Granet, Chief Investment Officer of BNY, on the market outlook and the Federal Reserve’s path forward
Frank Sorrentino, Founder and CEO of ConnectOne Bank, on the economic outlook and the health of community banking sector
Bloomberg News Energy Reporter Will Wade on a planned $6 billion merger between Trump Media & Technology nuclear fusion developer TAE Technologies
Michelle Korsmo, CEO of the National Restaurant Association, on the struggles of restaurant workers and smaller eateries amid rising inflation

Volatility lashed Wall Street, pushing high-valuation technology shares and crypto lower while bonds pared losses after a senior Federal Reserve official signaled room for rate cuts.
A tech rout hit stocks amid growing skepticism about the artificial-intelligence trade. Nvidia Corp. sank 3.8%. Losses accelerated as the S&P 500 breached a key technical level, with the index down 1.2%. The Nasdaq 100 slid 1.9%. In late hours, Micron Technology Inc. gave an upbeat forecast.
Even the slightest hint of trouble around data centers is enough to spook investors banking on the AI boom. The latest hiccup revolved around Oracle Corp.’s financing for a data center in Michigan. While it’s largely moving along, Blue Owl Capital, a longtime partner in its AI infrastructure build-out, is not contributing equity. The shares sank.
For years, investing in big techs has been a no brainer, given their stalwart balance sheets. Now, there’s concern over whether the sector — which has soared during the bull market — can keep justifying its lofty valuations and ambitious AI spending.

Today's show features:
Matthew Luzzetti, Chief US Economist for Deutsche Bank, on the labor market, inflation and the economic outlook
Alli McCartney, Managing Director of Wealth Management with Alignment Partners at UBS, on key market indicators as the new year approaches
Mike Bellin, US IPO Leader at PwC, on the IPO market outlook for 2026 and Bloomberg News Equities Reporter Natalia Kniazhevich on Medline’s first day of trading
Katie Hubbard, President of US Capital Markets at Walton Global on earnings from Lennar and the US real estate landscape
