Latest numbers show something interesting: from September through October this year, 14 out of 37 major economies kept their inflation rates pretty much flat when you look at the year-over-year CPI readings. That's roughly 38% holding steady while others are still wrestling with price swings. For anyone watching macro trends, this stabilization pattern matters—especially when you're trying to gauge whether central banks might shift their stance on rates, which obviously ripples into risk asset appetite and liquidity flows across markets.
