Inflation and the Fed: How February’s sticky inflation report could delay rate cuts

12

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, February’s core Consumer Price Index (CPI) –– which excludes food and energy –– came in hotter than expected, with a month-over-month increase of 0.4% and a 3.8% year-over-year jump. The core inflation rate rose due to a sizable increase in the shelter category: 5.7% on an unadjusted annual basis.
Yahoo Finance Reporter Alexandra Canal joins the Live show to discuss the core CPI numbers and their impact on US futures and the Federal Reserve’s future policy decisions.

  1. Thought for years the CPI was worthless for individuals. Because peoples spending are different. What I did was make a list of non-discretionary spending and realized my personal CPI, which include gas and food, was far higher the government CPI.
