Third-quarter U.S. GDP increases a better-than-expected 3.4% as September inflation accelerates

In the middle of the trading session on October 29, 2026, central bank signals are shaping investor behaviour across asset classes. Interest rate guidance is one of the most influential forces on investment returns expectations, and our members stay informed to time their portfolio decisions effectively. CNBC reports: "The personal consumption expenditures price index was projected to increase 0.5% in September for an annual rate of 3.7%, according to the Dow Jones consensus."
