CPI down but core up
CPI U.S. Economy
Decline in commodity prices led the decrease in U.S. consumer prices.
In December consumer price index declined by -0.1 % on the seasonally adjusted basis. CPI advanced by 1.9 % for the year, as the core rate increased on the higher rate than total consumer prices.
Since consumer spending is the main source of domestic growth, flat or declining retail sales are generally a negative sign.
Core CPI the measure of retail-level inflation that strips out food and energy prices to get a better handle on underlying inflationary trends, increased on the same pace like in previous month by 0.2 % on the seasonally adjusted basis.
Some economists prefer core cpi over the total CPI, because they believe it provides a better idea of longer-term inflationary trends.
Core rate of consumer price inflation grew by 2.2 % over the past 12 months.
