FX.co ★ US Monthly CPI Decelerates Sharply in October 2026

The pace of consumer price growth in the United States cooled notably in October 2026, according to the latest non-seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. Month-over-month, the CPI rose by 0.17% in October, down sharply from a 0.59% increase recorded in September 2026.

The data, updated on 10 November 2026, show a clear deceleration in price momentum on a monthly basis. The “actual” figure for October reflects the change from September to October, while the “previous” figure captures the change from August to September. The shift from 0.59% to 0.17% suggests easing short-term price pressures compared with the prior month’s stronger increase, offering a potentially more moderate inflation backdrop heading into late 2026.
