United States: CPI (YoY, SA)

Macro

2026-09-11

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.

AI Data Insight

The latest US Consumer Price Index (CPI) annual growth rate for Q3 2026 edged up to 3.353% from the previous 3.3039%, halting the cooling trend of the previous month. Although shelter costs and core inflation continue to show signs of slowing, a strong rebound in energy prices, such as gasoline, provided support for prices. Under the divergent pattern of "hot energy, cold core," the market expects the Federal Reserve to stand pat in the short term, waiting for the labor market and inflation trends to become clearer.
