Economic Releases
12-month trend and latest statement
Latest Summary
In August 2026, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.4% on a seasonally adjusted basis, bringing the 12-month year-over-year increase to 3.4%. The rise was driven largely by a 3.9% increase in gasoline prices and a 0.3% rise in shelter costs. Core inflation (excluding food and energy) rose 0.3% for the month, with the annual core rate cooling slightly to 2.4%.
Official Statement
Federal Reserve officials, including Governor Christopher Waller, have indicated that inflation data is being closely monitored to guide interest rate decisions. While the current reading allows for a potential pause in rate hikes, officials have warned that any further acceleration in inflation could necessitate a quarter-point increase.
Trend: Stable/Mixed: The annual headline inflation rate has remained steady at 3.4% for two consecutive months, while the core inflation rate has shown a slight downward trend.
