In May 2026 (Q2 2026), the shelter component of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) climbed to 428.501, edging up slightly from the previous value of 427.998. Although geopolitical conflicts drove up energy prices, causing the headline CPI to surge to 4.2%, the most authoritative data shows that the monthly increase in shelter inflation has further slowed down. The stable performance of core inflation is expected to leave some room for the Federal Reserve to adjust monetary policy in the future.
