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 Gold Price Soars Past $2,200 as Fed Signals Rate Cuts READ MORE U.S. GDP Surges 2.8% in Q2, Outpacing Expectations as Inflation Eases READ MORE Oil Prices Decline with Biden's Withdrawal and Fed Rate Cut Prospects READ MORE U.S. Treasuries Yield $2 Million Per Minute as Rates Soar READ MORE Copper Prices Surge as Short Squeeze Sparks US Metal Rush READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
