In the latest episode of Markets with Megan, Verdence Capital Advisors' Chief Investment Officer, Megan Horneman, provides her insights on the October Consumer Price Index release. The report revealed lower-than-expected inflation, with the headline CPI remaining flat for the first time since July 2022. Megan talks about the decline in vehicle prices, used cars, airfares, and a significant drop in gasoline prices as contributors.

She also focuses on the ongoing need for progress in addressing persistent challenges, in areas like sticky inflation related to wages and services.
