United States: CPI (YoY, SA)

Macro

2026-02-11
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.

The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) annual rate for December dropped sharply from the previous value of 2.65% to 2.35%, hitting a new low since April 2025 and beating market expectations. This decline was primarily driven by significantly lower energy prices and moderating housing cost increases, indicating that inflationary pressure has largely subsided and reinforcing market confidence in the Federal Reserve adjusting monetary policy in 2026.
