What it means for your money
- 401(k) and IRA investors: an S&P 500 index fund recovered most of last week’s drop in a single day. Sharp swings in both directions are a reminder that reacting to one bad week rarely pays.
- Gas prices: if crude stays near these levels, pump prices could ease in the coming weeks.
- Mortgages and savings: the 10-year Treasury yield held near 4.88%, so mortgage rates are unlikely to move much until the inflation data.
- Emerging markets: Colombia’s COLCAP rose 3.7%, but the peso weakened as oil fell; Colombian ADRs Grupo Cibest (CIB) gained 2.75% and Ecopetrol (EC) 0.39%. See the Colombia market close.
Next up: October CPI on Tuesday
The October Consumer Price Index comes out Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 8:30 a.m. ET. Economists expect about a 0.3% monthly rise in headline prices and 0.2% in core, according to Kiplinger. Because of last year’s shutdown, the BLS will not publish a year-over-year rate for October. With the Fed under Chair Kevin Warsh holding rates at 3.75%–4.00% and two officials already voting for a hike in October, a hot reading would raise the odds of a December increase.
