Inflation Rate Remains Unchanged
The annual inflation rate in the United States held steady at 2.7% in December 2025, aligning with market expectations.
Energy Prices Contribute to Stability
This stability can be attributed to a decline in energy prices, particularly a drop in fuel costs, which offset increases in other sectors.
Continued Pressure from Food and Housing Costs
Conversely, food and housing prices continue to rise, maintaining upward pressure on the overall cost of living.
Core Inflation Shows Positive Signs
Core inflation, which excludes energy and food prices and is a critical indicator for the Federal Reserve, registered at 2.6%. This marks the lowest level since 2021.
Monthly Inflation Growth Remains Limited
The month-over-month inflation increase was contained at 0.2%, which is better than anticipated.
