Government Says, Inflation in December Was Even Lower Than First Reported

The U.S. government has announced that inflation in December was even lower than initially reported. The revised data shows that prices for a wide range of goods and services rose by 0.2% for the month, which is lower than the first estimate of 0.3%. This slight adjustment indicates that inflation was cooling down as 2023 began, potentially giving the Federal Reserve more room to reduce interest rates later in the year.
