It's The Economy Stupid: CPI

Okay, any way you look at it, the Consumer Price Index is creeping up.  Inflation?

 

Consumer Price Index   +3.6%, economists’ estimates +3.4%, the prior period number was 3.2%

 

And for those of you who don’t eat, and live in a cave:

 

Consumer Price Index Ex Food and Energy    +1.5%, economists’ estimates +1.4%, the prior period number was 1.3%
