US Inflation Holds Steady at 2.7%, Below Market Expectations
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported US inflation (CPI) at 2.7% for the latest period, matching the previous month and coming in slightly under the anticipated 2.8%.
Truflation's real-time consumer price tracking suggests actual inflation has remained below 2% since March 2025, indicating a potential disconnect between official figures and market reality.
Key points:
- Official CPI: 2.7%
- Market expectation: 2.8%
- Truflation data shows <2% since March
- Food prices show +0.3% month-over-month increase
