| |  Good morning.. The latest CPI data shows an overall decline in inflation—which tends to be good news for consumers, as the rate of price increases is slowing. However, we're not just consumers, we're also producers, so the market is a bit wary of slowdowns like this, as it tends to show a slowing economy.
s However, despite the overall slowdown, more than half of the increase that did occur came from an increase in energy prices. Energy rose 2.7 percent in October, and tends to correlate with economic growth. As with a lot of other pieces of data these days, the overall results are mixed—and with stock markets near all-time highs yet again, we'll continue to support investors by cautioning against the possibility of another market drop with all this conflicting data.

| Looking ahead, my colleagues and I see a sustained expansion of economic activity, a strong labor market, and inflation near our symmetric 2 percent objective as most likely… This favorable baseline partly reflects the policy adjustments that we have made to provide support for the economy. |
