ZeroHedge: Core Consumer Prices Hit New Record High – Up For 50th Straight Month The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report shows a mixed picture of inflation in the United States. While headline CPI rose 0.2% month-over-month as expected, bringing the year-over-year rate down to 2.9%, core CPI (excluding food and energy) also increased by 0.2% month-over-month, with its annual rate slowing to 3.2%. Despite these modest improvements, core consumer prices have now risen for 50 consecutive months, reaching a new record high. The data suggests that while overall inflation is moderating, underlying price pressures persist, particularly in core goods where deflation appears to have stalled. This presents a complex scenario for policymakers as they navigate between controlling inflation and supporting economic growth. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Think Tank Expert Recommends Measures to Halt De-Dollarization READ MORE US Consumers Feel the Pinch as Inflation Concerns Linger READ MORE Copper Prices Stabilize After Sharp Decline Amid Inflation Concerns READ MORE Market Rebounds on Positive Jobless Data, Boosting Major Indexes READ MORE How to Buy Gold & Silver With PayPal or Venmo READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
