The US seasonally adjusted Core CPI for Q3 2026 rose to 336.789, up from the previous value of 336.065. This translates to a 0.2% MoM increase and a 2.5% YoY increase, perfectly aligning with market consensus. Benefiting from a slowdown in shelter inflation and a significant drop in hotel costs, overall price pressures continue to ease. Coupled with weak employment data, this further solidifies expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will hold rates steady in September.
