The numbers:\u00a0<\/strong>The cost of imported goods fell 0.8% in October and reversed some of the increase in the prior two months as oil prices declined.<\/p>\n

Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had estimated a 0.3% drop.<\/p>\n

If fuel is set aside, import prices declined by a smaller 0.2% last month, the government said.<\/p>\n

\n

The cost of imports has fallen 2% in the past year \u2014 or 1% excluding fuel \u2014 and contributed to a big slowdown in overall U.S. inflation.<\/p>\n

Other snapshots of U.S. inflation such as consumer and wholesale prices were also tepid in October, fostering hopes among investors that the Federal Reserve is done raising interest rates.<\/p>\n

Key details:<\/strong> The cost of foreign-produced fuel sank 6.3% last month after big increases in August and September.<\/p>\n

The cost of most other imports was either flat or lower. <\/p>\n

Export prices fell 1% in October. They are down almost 5% over the past year.<\/p>\n

Big picture:<\/strong> Lower oil prices have eased U.S. inflation and that\u2019s likely to be the case for a while. Americans aren\u2019t driving or flying as much as they were during the summer.<\/p>\n

Energy aside, the cost of most other imported goods has been relatively stable and on the lower side.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead:<\/strong> The decline in import\u00a0prices cap off an encouraging week on the inflation front,\u201d said U.S. economist Matthew Martin of Oxford Economics.<\/p>\n

Market reaction: <\/strong>The Dow Jones Industrial Average
