The US CPI Shelter index for July 2026 (Q3 2026) reached 429.491, a slight increase of 0.1% from the previous value of 429.062, in line with market consensus. Against the backdrop of falling energy prices, shelter costs still contributed nearly two-thirds of the overall monthly inflation increase. As lag effects materialize and lease renewals slow down, analysts expect subsequent shelter inflation to maintain a steady downward trend.
