Consumer Prices returned to Growth
CPI U.S. Economy
U.S. CPI on the rise again after stagnation in the last month, led by growth in food, apparel and gasoline prices.
The Labor Department announced total cpi edge up by 0.2 % in February on the seasonally adjusted basis. CPI advanced by 1.5 % for the year, as the core rate increased on the higher rate than total consumer prices.
February's pace was high enough to avoid any deflationary concerns. Deflation indicates lower consumer spending and slowing economy.
Stripping out the volatile food and energy categories, the core rate of consumer price inflation rose smaller than total consumer price by 0.1 % on the seasonally adjusted basis, with price increases for shelter, tuition and apparel, Personal care products prices have sunk.
The core index is usually viewed by investors and the Federal Reserve as a better gauge of inflationary pressure because it excludes the volatile food and energy categories.
Over the past 12 months, stripping out the volatile food and energy categories, the core rate of consumer price inflation has climbed by 2.1 %.
