From the inflation megapost, https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143007428#post2

Last 5 months, ANNUALIZED:
CPI: 2.47%, CORE CPI: 4.72%
PPI: 1.05%, CORE PPI: 1.51%
PCE: 2.42%, CORE PCE: 3.71%

For CPI and PCE, CORE means all items less food and energy
For PPI (producer price index), there seems to be two different definitions of Core. I chose the "less food and energy" one for consistency. The other, that the BLS highlights, is less food, energy, and trade services

If Fed stopped looking at stale housing data they'd realize inflation is over.
