The CPI Tells Us Nothing
Inflation remained elevated but showed signs of cooling in December, according to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The consumer price index rose 0.3% for the month and held steady at 2.7% year over year, while core inflation eased slightly to 2.6%. Both measures came in below economists’ expectations, suggesting price pressures are moderating but still above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.
Food and housing costs continued to be key drivers of inflation, with shelter posting the largest monthly increase. Energy prices rose modestly, though gasoline prices declined from a year earlier. Economists cautioned that recent data may be distorted by disruptions caused by the government shutdown, making trends harder to interpret. Still, markets largely expect the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged later this month as policymakers weigh lingering inflation against signs of a slowing economy.
