#USCoreCPIHitsFour-YearLow


In the US, core CPI, excluding food and energy, fell to 2.5% annually according to January 2026 data. This is the lowest level seen since March 2021 and a low in approximately four years.
According to the US Department of Labor (BLS) report released on February 13, 2026:
Headline CPI increased by 2.4% annually (expected to be around 2.5%, compared to 2.7% in December).
Core CPI increased by 0.3% monthly, while falling to 2.5% annually (from 2.6% in the previous month).
This decrease was driven by a slowdown in housing costs, a decline in energy prices (gasoline -3.2%), and limited increases in some staple food items.
Markets reacted positively to this data; it was interpreted as a signal that the Fed is approaching its 2% target. Some analysts note that despite the data being released late due to the government shutdown, inflation has cooled, creating room for interest rate cuts. However, housing and services inflation remain relatively high.
