US DATA: Nov CPI +0.1%, core +0.1% (+0.09785% unrounded) for +1.1% YOY overall and +0.8% YOY core.

Within core, new vehicles -0.4% (NSA +0.3%), used cars -0.5% (NSA -1.2%), recreation flat, and medical services +0.1% held down the total. OER at +0.1% and +0.2% YOY remains very modest and should continue to moderate CPI ahead. Food +0.2% as cereals and meats jumped but fruits & veg fell. Energy +0.2% as nat gas -5.7% in an offset to higher gas and fuel oil. This was a little better than expected and CPI's slow gains show why the Fed remains concerned about prices.

US DATA: October TICS data showed that net foreign purchases of long-term U.S. securities were a paltry $27.6 bn as net foreign purchases of $54.7 bn were offset by US resident purchases of $27.1 bn of foreign securities.

US DATA: NY Fed Empire State Mfg Index 10.57 in Dec vs -11.14 in Nov, above expectations of 5.0. The new orders and shipments readings both returned to positive territory, but the employment reading fell below zero.
