#CPIWatch 🚨 CPI ALERT: Inflation Cools More Than Expected! 📉
The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is out, and it’s a game-changer for the markets! Inflation slowed to 2.7% over the last 12 months (ending November/December 2025), coming in significantly lower than the 3.1% experts predicted. 🎯
📊 The Key Numbers You Need to Know:
Headline CPI: 2.7% (Down from 3.0% in September) 📉
Core CPI (Excluding Food & Energy): 2.6% — the lowest since March 2021! ✨
Energy Costs: Rose 4.2%, driven by a spike in fuel oil and natural gas. ⛽
Shelter & Rent: Eased to 3.0%, a welcome relief for many. 🏠
⚖️ What This Means for Your Wallet & The Fed
Fed Chair Jerome Powell has signaled caution, noting that recent government shutdowns may have "distorted" some of the data. However, with the labor market softening and inflation trending down, the "higher for longer" era might finally be cooling off. 🧊
"Take it with the entire salt shaker." — Economists are warning that while these numbers look great, we need to see the next report to confirm the trend isn't just a data glitch.
