The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on November 10, 2026, that consumer prices rose 0.4% in October, above economists’ broadly expected 0.3%. Core prices, excluding food and energy, rose 0.3%. The report gave no year-on-year October rate because data-collection disruptions during the October 2025 federal shutdown left the agency without its normal comparison base.
The monthly headline increase slowed from September’s 0.6%. The source says the higher-than-expected reading could affect expectations for Federal Reserve policy, bond yields and Bitcoin trading, but there is no fixed relationship between CPI and Bitcoin’s price.
