CPI Catch UP +3


CPI numbers for September & November came in at +0.2% for both the headline and core, each a tenth lower than expected.  No data was collected for October due to the federal shutdown.  FedWatch hasn't changed much, but American equity futures ticked up a bit.

The ECB also held its rate steady this morning as expected, and improved its economic outlook.  That seems to be extending dollar weakness, which is also positive for American stocks.
