This slow slide is encouraging, suggesting inflation is cooling without any wild swings. It’s not back to the Fed’s 2% target yet, but it’s getting close, which could mean less pressure on prices for everyday stuff. The small upticks in late 2024 make me think there’s still some stubborn costs lingering—maybe energy or housing—but nothing alarming. If this trend holds, it’s a decent sign for wallets, though I’d keep an eye on those occasional blips.
