Inflation accelerates
CPI U.S. Economy
Prices increased on the faster pace again, led by increase in gasoline prices.
The Consumer price Indexes increased by 0.4 % in February on the seasonally adjusted basis, reported by the U.S. Labor Department. CPI advanced by 1.7 % for the year, as the core rate increased on the slower rate than total consumer price index.
Consumer faced increasing prices across many sectors including, food, energy, gasoline and communication.
Stripping out the volatile food and energy categories, the core rate of consumer price inflation rose less than a half of total cpi, by 0.1 % on the seasonally adjusted basis.
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.
Closely monitored CPI excluding food and energy increased by 1.3 % from Feb. 2020.
