4. August report - Table of the pieces:
Tue Sep 13, 2022, 09:43 AM
Sep 2022
https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm
1 mo   12 months   Item
+0.6%   +6.3%     Core CPI: Everything* except food and energy
+0.8%   +11.4%   Food
-5.0%,   +23.8%   Energy
----------------------------------------
+0.1%   +8.3%     CPI: Everything*


*Everything is almost everything except house prices. It does include rent and owners' equivalent rent (they ask homeowners how much they think they could rent their houses for). They consider buying a house an investment rather than a consumption item -- an increase in housing prices help owners and hurt buyers.

Edit: I had August energy at -0.5%. I corrected it to -5.0%.
