📢 US CPI – July 2025 Update & My Take🚀

So, the latest US inflation numbers are in, and here’s the scoop:

Overall CPI for July went up just 0.2% from last month, keeping annual inflation steady at 2.7%. That’s not bad news at all — especially considering how bumpy things have been lately.

But here’s where it gets interesting: Core CPI (which leaves out food and energy) rose 0.3%, the biggest monthly jump in half a year. That pushed annual core inflation up to 3.1%, and it’s mainly being driven by higher shelter costs, airline tickets, medical care, and even dental services.

On the flip side, gas prices were a big help — dropping over 2% in July and almost 10% from last year. Food prices stayed mostly stable, with grocery costs even ticking down a little.

Now, we’re also starting to see the early effects of new tariffs that kicked in recently. Prices for some goods are creeping up, which could become a bigger deal in the months ahead.

Markets seemed to like the headline CPI number — stocks and crypto had a nice bump — and traders are betting the Fed might cut interest rates in September. But with core inflation heating up, the Fed could still play it safe and wait for more proof that prices are really cooling across the board.

Bottom line? Inflation overall looks calm, but the stubborn rise in core prices (especially in services) means we’re not totally out of the woods yet. August’s CPI will be the real test to see if these tariffs keep pushing prices higher.
