BBC World Service - World Business Report, US inflation shows signs of cooling

Inflation in the US cooled to 3.2% in October

Inflation in the US cooled to 3.2% in October – but is it enough to stave off another rates rise?

Inflation in the US cooled to 3.2% in October - better than most analysts expected and seen as being down to declining petrol and housing costs. 

The consumer price data sent US stocks up - the initial reaction has been that this eases pressure on the Federal Reserve over the need for future interest-rate rises, suggesting the economy can be both expanding and non-inflationary at the same time. 

We will hear from Bloomberg's US economist, Stuart Paul.
