So, the latest inflation report says prices barely budged in November, but here’s the catch: the government had to guess at housing costs because of a shutdown. That means rent and shelter were basically marked as ‘free’ for the month—yeah, right! This could make things look rosier than they are, and might mess with interest rates or your next rent hike. Keep an eye out for the next report to see if this ‘good news’ sticks. #Business #inflation #personalfinance
