📉 US Core CPI Hits Four-Year Low!

The U.S. Core Consumer Price Index (CPI), which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose just 2.5% year-over-year in January 2026 — the lowest in nearly four years.
This signals that underlying inflation pressures are slowing down, offering potential relief to consumers and impacting future Federal Reserve interest rate decisions.
Even though prices are cooling, they remain above the Fed’s 2% target, so policymakers are still keeping a close eye on the economy.
