I'll add more info later after I read the news summary https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm
CPI data series: https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUSR0000SA0
Core CPI data series: http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUSR0000SA0L1E
As always, I prefer to show everything annualized so as to compare to the Fed's 2% goal and to each other
Regular CPI (includes food & energy)
Red line indicates the Federal Reserve's 2.0% inflation target
CORE CPI (EXcludes food & energy)
Red line indicates the Federal Reserve's 2.0% inflation target
Percent increases over the past month, over the past 3 months, and over the past 12 months, seasonally adjusted numbers, ANNUALIZED
1 mo 3 mo 12mo
---- ---- ----
8.0% 7.3% 3.8% Regular CPI (includes food & energy)
4.6% 3.2% 2.8% Core CPI (does not have food or energy)
2.0% 2.0% 2.0% Federal Reserve Target
