Hechos Clave

  • La tasa de inflación se mantuvo en 2.7% en diciembre, cumpliendo con las expectativas.
  • EE.UU. agregó 584,000 empleos en 2025, una desaceleración respecto a años anteriores.
  • El Comité de Mercado Abierto de la Reserva Federal se reunirá el 27 y 28 de enero.
  • CME FedWatch indicó una probabilidad del 95% de que la Fed mantuviera las tasas de interés estables.

Resumen Rápido

Estados Unidos concluyó 2025 con una inflación que se mantuvo estable en 2.7% en diciembre. La Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales (BLS) publicó los datos del índice de precios al consumidor, confirmando que la tasa coincidió tanto con el pronóstico como con el aumento de noviembre. Si bien la cifra representa una disminución respecto a la tasa del 2.9% registrada hace un año, sigue estando muy por encima del objetivo a largo plazo de la Reserva Federal.

Este informe ofrece mayor claridad sobre los cambios de precios tras la ausencia de estimaciones en octubre. Los datos llegan apenas semanas antes de que la Reserva Federal tome su primera decisión de tasas de interés del nuevo año. Economistas y traders esperan ampliamente que el banco central pause los recortes de tasas, manteniendo los niveles actuales mientras evalúan el panorama económico.

Datos de Inflación de Diciembre y Tendencias 📉

La Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales reportó que la tasa de inflación permaneció sin cambios en 2.7% en diciembre. Esta estabilidad se alinea perfectamente con las previsiones del mercado, proporcionando una señal clara a inversores y responsables de la política económica. La consistencia sigue a un período de volatilidad donde las cifras interanuales de octubre no pudieron ser calculadas, dejando un vacío en la visibilidad económica.

Comparar los datos actuales con periodos previos resalta una tendencia de enfriamiento. La tasa de diciembre del 2.7% es menor que el 2.9% registrado en diciembre del año anterior. Sin embargo, la persistencia de la inflación por encima del objetivo preferido sugiere que las presiones de precios siguen siendo una preocupación para la economía.

El informe es una pieza crítica del rompecabezas para los analistas que rastrean el índice de precios al consumidor. Confirma que, aunque los precios no están acelerando rápidamente, tampoco están retrocediendo a los niveles objetivo. Esta distinción es vital para los próximos pasos en la política monetaria.

Rendimiento del Mercado Laboral 📊

Los indicadores económicos recientes van más allá de la inflación para incluir la salud del mercado laboral. Estados Unidos agregó 584,000 empleos durante 2025. Esta cifra representa una desaceleración en el crecimiento laboral en comparación con la contratación robusta vista en los años inmediatamente anteriores a 2025.

Las métricas de desempleo mostraron resiliencia en diciembre, manteniéndose bajas. Sin embargo, se señaló que la tasa fue más alta que en el mismo mes del año anterior. Este sutil cambio en el mercado laboral proporciona contexto adicional para la Reserva Federal mientras evalúa la salud económica general.

La combinación de una inflación estable y un mercado laboral en enfriamiento crea un panorama complejo para los responsables de la política económica. La Reserva Federal debe equilibrar la necesidad de controlar los precios contra el riesgo de frenar el crecimiento económico demasiado.

Perspectiva de la Reserva Federal 🏦

La Reserva Federal está posicionada para utilizar estos informes económicos recientes para guiar su primera decisión de tasas de interés del año. El Comité de Mercado Abierto de la Reserva Federal (FOMC, por sus siglas en inglés) está programado para reunirse el 27 y 28 de enero. Esta reunión será la primera oportunidad para que el banco central ajuste la política en 2026.

Economistas y traders están mayormente de acuerdo sobre el resultado probable. Las expectativas son que los miembros del FOMC mantengan las tasas de interés estables. Esto marcaría una pausa después de que la Fed implementó tres recortes de tasas consecutivos antes de finalizar 2025.

El sentimiento del mercado refleja esta anticipación. Los datos de CME FedWatch indicaron una probabilidad del 95% de que la Fed mantuviera las tasas estables, incluso antes de que se publicara el último informe del IPC. Este alto nivel de confianza subraya el consenso de que el banco central tomará un enfoque de "esperar y ver" en enero.

Conclusión

Los datos económicos publicados para diciembre de 2025 pintan un panorama de una economía estadounidense en transición. Con la inflación estabilizándose en 2.7% y el mercado laboral mostrando signos de moderación, el escenario está listo para una Reserva Federal cautelosa. Mientras el banco central se prepara para su reunión a finales de enero, los niveles de precios estables pero elevados sugieren que las tasas de interés probablemente permanecerán sin cambios a corto plazo.

Mercedes temporarily scraps its Level 3 ‘eyes-off’ driving feature

Mercedes-Benz is pausing the roll-out of Drive Pilot, an "eyes off" conditionally automated driving feature that was available in Europe and the US. As first reported by German publication Handelsblatt, the revised S-Class will not have the Level 3 system when it arrives at the end of this month. Mercedes was one of the first automakers to offer a Level 3 driving system to its customers when it launched Drive Pilot with the electric EQS sedan and the gas-powered S-Class in the fall of 2023. At up to 40mph in traffic jam situations on highways, Drive Pilot provided hands-free, eyes-off driving that allows the driver to look away from the ro … Read the full story at The Verge.

Inside the rift between HGTV mother-daughter duo Mina Starsiak Hawk and Karen E. Laine, and where the 'Good Bones' stars stand now

Mina Starsiak Hawk and Karen E. Laine starred on "Good Bones." Courtesy of HGTV Mother-daughter duo Mina Starsiak Hawk and Karen E. Laine starred on HGTV's "Good Bones" together. Hawk revealed their relationship was strained in 2023. In January 2026, Hawk gave an update on her relationship with her mom in a new interview. Nearly three years after going public about the strain in their relationship, HGTV star Mina Starsiak Hawk described her relationship with her mother, Karen E. Laine, as "amicable." On their HGTV series, "Good Bones," which premiered in 2016, Hawk and Laine renovated homes in Indianapolis through their company Two Chicks and a Hammer. Laine stepped back from the company in 2019 but continued appearing on the show. The series quickly became popular on the network, as did its spinoff, "Good Bones: Risky Business." In August 2023, Hawk announced the series was ending and opened up about the fraught nature of her relationship with Laine on her podcast "Mina AF." "Good Bones" briefly returned for a limited season in August 2024, though Hawk and Laine appeared on the series separately. In the year and a half since, it seems tensions may have thawed between the mother and daughter, as Hawk shared in a new interview with People. Take a look back at Hawk and Laine's rise to fame and how their relationship shifted in recent years. Representatives for Hawk did not respond to a request for comment, and Laine declined to comment. Viewers got to know Mina Starsiak Hawk and Karen E. Laine's family on 'Good Bones' Because Hawk and Laine's operation was a family business, their other relatives, including some of Hawk's siblings, started appearing on the show over the course of its run. Hawk has five siblings, as she and Laine explained in a video for HGTV: brothers William and CR; Kelsy, a half-sister through her mother; and Tad and Jessica, half-siblings through her father's second marriage. Hawk and her husband, Stephen, who have been married since 2016, share two children: Jack and Charlotte. The pair also cared for Jessica's daughter, Julie, for some time in 2017, as People reported at the time. Although Hawk and Laine described their family tree as "complicated" in their HGTV video, their blended family appeared happy to viewers at home as the pair transformed their hometown with a sense of love and community. Then, Hawk revealed in August 2023 that things weren't as simple when the cameras were off. Hawk described her relationships with Laine and two of her brothers as 'challenging' On an episode of "Mina AF," titled "The Pain of Staying the Same," that aired on August 28, 2023, Hawk spoke about change and boundaries, opening up about how her son's 5th birthday party spurred her to think about how she wanted to approach her relationship with certain members of her family — including Laine — moving forward. Jack turned 5 on August 9, 2023, and as she shared on Instagram, Hawk hosted a party for him three days later. On her podcast, which was recorded ahead of Jack's birthday, she said she had invited her family members to her kids' birthday parties in years past, but she wasn't sure she wanted to invite them that year. "My family is challenging, and I've been going back and forth about who do I want to be able to be present at this party?" she said. "Will it affect my kids? Will they even notice who's here and not here? There's gonna be a bunch of animals. That's all they care about. Am I being true to myself and my husband by setting appropriate boundaries for certain people to be here or not be here?" Mina Starsiak Hawk co-stars on "Good Bones." Rachel Luna/Getty Images She went on to say that she was unsure if she wanted to invite her mom and some of her siblings because of "the current state of affairs" of their relationships. "My mom and I aren't in a great place," she said. "My brother Tad and I aren't in a great place. My brother William and I are kind of like nonexistent place. It's complicated without even being complicated. We don't really engage much, and the last engagement wasn't super positive. And that was maybe a year ago." Hawk also said she wanted to prioritize inviting people to Jack's birthday party who are in his day-to-day life, which doesn't include her family. "Not only do my mom and my two brothers not fall into that category of being involved in their life on a regular basis, we're also not on good terms," she said, adding that members of her family are typically cordial to one another and still gather for family events even if they have tension, largely because it's important to her father. "Whenever there's an event, we all put our big kid pants on and pretend to be nice to each other and do the event, and then go back to our corners of the universe and talk shit about each other," Hawk said. She added that her family members had been able to "coexist" on a vacation together, though she didn't say when. However, she went on to say that the system no longer worked for her. "I just don't want to do that," she said. "Because that doesn't feel genuine. It doesn't feel real. And it's just not what I want my life to be." Hawk did not say whether she and Stephen decided to invite her mother and brothers to Jack's birthday party on the podcast episode, though the family members did not appear in any of the photos she posted from the event. In the caption of her Instagram post about the event, she gave a shout-out to the people who support Jack. Hawk told People in September 2023 that she did not end up inviting those family members to Jack's birthday. Hawk announced the eighth season of 'Good Bones' would be its last in August 2023 Hawk shared on a separate podcast episode recorded earlier in 2023 and released on August 7 that "Good Bones" was ending after eight seasons. "It's the end of an era," she said in the episode, titled "And That's a Wrap… Or Is It?" Hawk said she and HGTV mutually agreed to end the series, adding that the stress of the show was becoming too much for her in part because her team was typically working on five to eight projects at the same time due to the demands of television. And while she wanted to have a slower work pace, Hawk was concerned about how her employees would be affected if she chose to step back, as she wouldn't need as many staff members if she were working on fewer homes at a time. Mina Starsiak Hawk discussed her mother on her podcast. Michael Kovac/Getty Images for Cost Plus World Market "All the things that I was putting on myself, it was making it really, really hard to function as, like, a normal human being, because I always felt the weight of so many other people's worlds that I put on my shoulders," she said. "I got to a point where I think I kind of felt like, whether it made sense or not, it felt like I was fighting for my life, or fighting for my family's life, fighting for my employees' lives, to figure something out, to find a solution, to find the next thing." "I just became a version of myself that I really didn't like," she said. Ultimately, Hawk said ending the series was the right choice for her husband and children. Laine didn't formally comment on "Good Bones" ending, though she did indicate she was open to more opportunities with HGTV in the comments section of an Instagram post. Laine posted a photo of herself with Hawk on August 10, 2023, promoting the eighth season of the show, and a user commented that they were "bummed" the show was coming to an end. "Just because Mina says it's over for her doesn't mean the future doesn't hold something for me," Laine replied. And after Hawk's announcement, HGTV said in a statement, "While this is the end of 'Good Bones' as we know it, we're currently in talks with Mina and Karen about other projects." Hawk shared that her relationship with Laine suffered when they filmed 'Good Bones' Hawk shed more light on her relationship with her mother in an interview with People published on September 7, 2023, saying that they were "in some of the most challenging places I felt we've been" when they filmed season eight. She also said that in the season eight premiere, she and Laine had "a knockdown drag-out [fight] during the demo." Hawk went on to tell People that she has always felt her relationship with her mother was complicated, despite what people may have gleaned from "Good Bones." "And from what people know from the show, my mom and I are thick as thieves, best friends, and because they just don't know anything else, they assume that's how it's always been," she told People. "And I think a lot of people really aspire to that, so they don't want to know other stuff, which is fine. But my mom and I have had a very rocky relationship since I have memories." Hawk also told People that she and Laine bonded when she was in college and when they started their business, but she never felt close to her in a traditional parent-child sense. "When we became close, we became close as friends," she told People. "We never were really close as 'You are my mom; you take care of me. I'm your daughter; I look to you to be a safe place.'" Hawk shared in an October 2023 podcast episode that she and her mother were not speaking, saying, "We do not talk. We haven't in a long time." HGTV announced 'Good Bones' would return with a limited season in July 2024 On July 17, HGTV announced that a new season of "Good Bones" would premiere on August 14, 2024, nearly a year after the eighth season premiered. The season spotlighted Hawk and Laine renovating homes, but unlike in past seasons, they didn't work together. The announcement also said the series would only have a three-week run. Mina Starsiak Hawk and Karen E. Laine in August 2017. Michael Kovac/Getty Images "The newest season of HGTV's hit series 'Good Bones' will follow Mina Starsiak Hawk and her mom Karen E Laine as their lives evolve past their time renovating homes in Indianapolis," a press release for the show reviewed by Business Insider said. "Mina will purchase a very dated but 'groovy' lake house just north of Indy and give it much-needed cosmetic updates to create the peaceful family getaway of her dreams. Karen will set off on a new adventure in Wilmington, North Carolina, where she'll risk her retirement nest egg on a bungalow that requires more work than anticipated to become a colorful beachy oasis," it said. Hawk and Laine didn't appear in season 9 together The first episode aired on August 14, 2024, and focused on Hawk's renovation of a lake house she and her husband bought for their family in Martinsville, Indiana. Laine encouraged people to watch the series with an Instagram photo of Hawk that she shared the day the episode aired. "'Good Bones: New Beginnings' starts tonight, 8/14, at 9 pm on @hgtv with Mina's lakehouse Reno," she wrote. "My Wilmington NC Reno will air 8/21 and 28, same bat time, same bat station." The first episode of the season also gave insight into how Hawk was moving forward professionally after distancing herself from her mother. In episode one, Hawk said that she only had one full-time employee for Two Chicks and a Hammer and would be doing far fewer renovations a year than the 12 the company used to do annually. The episode showed her renting out the former headquarters for Two Chicks and a Hammer, and she also decided to close the original store location, District Co., and reopen it in another area. Laine did not appear in episode one, nor did Hawk mention her. However, on August 21, 2024, Hawk posted an Instagram photo of Laine and "Good Bones" star Michael J. Coyle to promote the show, confirming in the caption that she wouldn't appear in Laine's episodes of the show. "Another new episode tonight at 9 y'all! Check it out on @hgtv 💪🏼 When you're not designing for resale you get to make it yours and use SO much more color. It's a whole different ball game," she wrote. "And before you ask, no I'm not in it. But you'll see some familiar faces!!! So check it out." In episodes two and three, Laine spent time in both Indianapolis and Wilmington, North Carolina, where she bought a fixer-upper for herself. "I retired in 2019, and I can do anything I want," Laine said of her approach to the next chapter of her life. She added that she wanted to be in Wilmington because she loves the beach town, but also planned to spend time in Indianapolis with her grandkids, referring to her son CR's four children. During episodes two and three, CR's children appeared with Laine, as did her daughter Kelsy, who gave birth to her first child during filming. "This is the first time in my life I'm in a position where I can really invest time in being the kind of grandparent I want to be," she said. Laine did not mention Hawk's children in her episodes, and Hawk and Laine have not made many announcements about future projects they may be working on with HGTV, either. In a January 2026 interview, Hawk said she spent the 2025 holidays with her mom Hawk and Laine didn't say much about their relationship after the final season of "Good Bones" aired, and they worked on separate projects. Laine also listed the Wilmington home she had renovated on the series in October 2024. Then, in January 2026, Hawk spoke to People's Erin Clements about her appearance on the coming season of "Rock the Block," and during their chat, she gave an update on the status of her relationship with Laine. Hawk said the strain between her and her mother had grown over time, so it would take time to repair. "It took us a lot of time to get there," she said. "So I think it takes a lot of time to kind of get out of it as well." However, Hawk said she and her mother are on speaking terms and even spent the 2025 holidays together. "We were all together for the holidays, so we're all amicable," she said. "We're not like best friends that braid each other's hair on Saturday nights or anything, but no, it's good."
