CPI inflation rose to 2.6% in October, higher than the 2.4% in September, though in line with projections. There is an indication that the probability of a pause in rate cuts has risen.

JPMorgan's trading desk gave a scenario outlook on how the market would respond to various monthly core CPI readings. The options market is pricing in a 0.7% move, either up or down, for the S&P 500, and a 1.6% move for the Russell 2000.

U.S. inflation ticked higher in October, but stable core price pressures and tame month-on-month gains prompted a sigh of relief on Wall Street and likely supported bets for an end-of-year interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve.
