CPI Up 0.4% in February, a 3.2% Increase From a Year Ago In February, the consumer price index (CPI) saw a 0.4% increase from the previous month and has risen 3.2% over the past year, according to the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. These figures were generally expected, though the yearly increase slightly surpassed predictions, indicating a steady but slightly accelerated inflation rate. When looking at core CPI, which excludes the more unpredictable food and energy sectors, there was also a 0.4% monthly increase and a 3.8% rise year-over-year, both slightly higher than anticipated. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts ECB's Lagarde: Services Inflation Need Not Hit 2% for Rate Cut Considerations READ MORE Fed Is ‘Not Far’ From Confidence Needed to Cut Rates, Powell Says READ MORE Complete Guide To Buying Gold & Silver READ MORE Market Data Hints at Massive Yen Intervention by Japan READ MORE Hedge Fund That’s Up 227% Makes Bet on Gold READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
