Estimated U.S. inflation rose to about 4% in the year through October, outpacing average hourly pay growth of roughly 3% and eroding workers’ purchasing power. Airfares, car repairs, hospital services, electricity, and restaurant meals saw especially sharp increases, while grocery prices rose about 5%. Rising energy costs are contributing to higher prices across transportation and food. Hotter-than-expected inflation has raised expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike, which could increase borrowing costs.

October CPI rose 0.4%, above forecasts, while core CPI increased 0.3%, also exceeding expectations. Broad price gains in services and goods strengthen expectations of a December Fed rate hike and keep a larger 50-basis-point move in play, though markets see a 25-point increase as more likely. Persistent inflation could keep rates elevated into next year; upcoming wholesale-price data will inform estimates of the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge.
Anthropic plans to sell 825 million shares at $70–$78 each, implying a fully diluted valuation of about $1.3 trillion to $1.45 trillion and raising up to $64.35 billion. Technology companies have separately committed $26 billion to buy non-voting shares. The proposed Nasdaq listing comes amid investor concerns about AI valuations, data-center expansion and Anthropic’s reported $895.4 billion in committed spending. The company reported revenue of $33.2 billion for the first nine months of the year, up 1,206%.
