Odaily Planet Daily News: Although the US government shutdown is still ongoing, the delayed September inflation data will be released this Friday. Goldman Sachs analysts released a report over the weekend saying that the bank expects the overall CPI and core CPI to increase by 0.3% month-on-month in September, which will keep the core inflation rate at around 3.1%. Goldman Sachs pointed out that the driving effect of car prices on inflation is weakening, and airfares may also fall. At the same time, the contribution of the labor market and housing market to inflation may also be cooling. However, Goldman Sachs said that tariffs may put upward pressure on "specific exposed industries such as communications, home improvement and entertainment." The bank predicts that the core inflation rate for the whole year ending in December will be fixed at 3.1%. (Jinshi)
