Rise and shine everyone.
It’s a big day with the last US CPI release for the year at 8:30 am ET. Today we get November numbers and this will likely be the last important data point for the Fed to consider as they begin their 2-day meeting today. We’ve got the previews from some of the major banks:

As a reminder, Energy came in at -2.5% MoM and -4.5% YoY for October.
