what happened
Argentina's monthly inflation rate reached 2.2% in October, slightly above September's level. Reuters reported the figure citing the national statistics agency INDEC.
The annual rate edged down to 33.1% from 33.4% in September. Both readings came in above the forecasts in a Reuters poll of analysts, who had expected 1.9% monthly and 32.7% annual.
Housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels rose the most, by 4.2%, driven by higher gas prices. Education posted the smallest increase, at 1.3%.
why it matters
The data matter for the outlook on interest rates and the peso, since inflation is running above expectations. Even at roughly 2% a month, sectors hurt by President Javier Milei's austerity measures face strain, and lower-income households continue to lose purchasing power.
market impact
Peso and Argentine bonds: inflation above forecasts adds uncertainty over monetary policy.
