U.S. CPI data just dropped, and it's beating expectations across the board.

The headline CPI came in at 2.7%, significantly lower than the forecasted 3.1% and down from the previous 3.0% reading. That's solid deflation progress.

Core CPI tells a similar story—it landed at 2.6% versus the anticipated 3.0%, also down from 3.0% prior. This cooler inflation print could shift how markets price in future rate decisions.
