United States: CPI (YoY, SA)

Macro

2026-10-14

Description

The United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated and published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), measuring the changes in prices of goods and services purchased by consumers over time.

As the most widely used measure of inflation, the Federal Reserve has set a target of 2% inflation to ensure economic growth while allowing the market to assess whether the economy is overheating and to evaluate the appropriateness of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.

Note: The difference between Seasonally Adjusted (SA) and Not Seasonally Adjusted (NSA) data lies in the fact that SA data is adjusted to eliminate the effects of seasonal patterns, providing a clearer view of long-term trends and underlying economic conditions.

AI Data Insight

The US August CPI annual growth rate reached 3.72%, rebounding significantly from the previous 3.35% and interrupting the prior cooling trend. Although some external institutions attributed the 3.7% increase to September data, system records indicate the rebound had already emerged in August. This inflation uptick is primarily driven by soaring gasoline prices and sticky shelter costs, suggesting that the inflation cooling momentum is fragile and may force the Federal Reserve to maintain a tighter policy for a longer period.
