Key drivers
- Recent headline CPI was elevated by energy, but weekly gasoline prices were falling by late June
- Core CPI slowed to 0.2 percent in May after 0.4 percent in April
- Shelter remains a persistent positive contribution but not enough alone for another 0.6-0.9 percent headline print
- Food inflation was positive but moderate in the latest CPI release
- July remains exposed to renewed energy or tariff pass-through shocks
Resolution
- source
- U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index news release
- expected
- August 12, 2026
- rule
- Resolve to the first BLS-published July 2026 seasonally adjusted percent change from preceding month for CPI-U all items, U.S. city average, as released on 2026-08-12 at 8:30 a.m. ET. Use the one-decimal first print in the BLS CPI news release table; ignore later revisions, annual seasonal-adjustment revisions, errata after the first print, and FRED mirrors.
