When commenting on the US CPI data for November, Investinglive analyst Adam Button said that the report was unexpectedly weak, but there are some problems in the data collection process, so it may be questioned. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics assumes that the consumer price index for October was zero due to the government shutdown. I think most economists have overlooked this, but UBS pointed it out and said it would cause a 27 basis point downward bias in the report data. If this factor is excluded, the actual figure should be close to 3.0%.
