Over the last 10 years

What it is

Consumer price inflation without food and energy. The closer to 2%, the better. Gap between year-on-year core CPI inflation (excluding food and energy) and 2%, in points. Part of the theme "US inflation": How fast prices and wages rise: what decides whether the Fed raises or cuts rates.

How to read it

Higher means more risk. The colour compares today’s value with the indicator’s own last 10 years: "Good" is the most favourable third of its history, "Poor" the most strained. It describes the present and anticipates nothing.
