US Inflation Rises Slightly, but Sentiment Improves Amid Political Shift

Amid a slight uptick in US inflation to 2.7% last month, many Americans are reporting greater confidence in their financial stability, bolstered by falling petrol prices and a shifting political landscape.

Petrol prices, now at their lowest in three years, have eased financial strain for households. "I’m filling my tank to the top now," said Josh Kerben, a 36-year-old property manager in New York, reflecting the improved financial outlook for many.

While inflation remains higher than the US Federal Reserve's 2% target, it is far below the peak of June 2022, when the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine sent fuel prices soaring. However, areas like housing and groceries continue to see price increases, overshadowing broader economic gains for some.

The economic debate played a decisive role in last month’s presidential election, helping Donald Trump secure a return to the White House. His supporters, like Mr. Kerben, are optimistic about the future. "Compared to two months ago, I feel more confident," he said.

Yet, the path forward remains uncertain. November’s inflation rate, up from 2.6% in October, marks the highest since July. Petrol prices rose slightly compared to October, while groceries and other essentials saw notable increases.

This has raised questions about how President Trump will address cost-of-living concerns. Economic strategist Lindsay James noted the challenges ahead, citing higher government spending and potential tariffs as factors that could add inflationary pressures.

The Federal Reserve, which lowered interest rates in September for the first time in four years, is expected to consider further cuts this month. However, analysts warn that rates may remain elevated into next year unless inflation in non-petrol sectors slows significantly.

For Americans like Grier Bowen, a 48-year-old cancer survivor reliant on disability payments, the mixed economic signals are concerning. While lower fuel prices provide some relief, rising costs in other areas continue to strain budgets. "You save in one place, but end up reallocating somewhere else," she said, expressing cautious hope about Trump’s potential impact.

As inflation edges back into focus, the US faces critical decisions on economic policy in the months ahead. Whether recent optimism translates into lasting financial relief remains to be seen.
