The US Q2 2026 Core CPI index climbed to 335.803, growing 0.42% from the previous Q1 2026 value of 334.391. The increase exceeded market expectations, indicating that inflation remains stubborn. Driven by catch-up increases in shelter costs and energy spillover effects, core services prices remain persistently high. Wall Street analysis indicates that if the cooling of inflation continues to be hindered, hopes for a Federal Reserve rate cut this year may be completely shattered.
