Chart: Inflation Rates & Core Inflation Rates
Inflation is an economic phenomenon that refers to a general increase in the prices of goods and services over time. It is a crucial indicator of the economy's health and is closely monitored by policymakers, businesses, and consumers alike. The chart displayed below shows theannual inflation rates andcore inflation rates in the United States. The blue line represents the rate at which prices for goods and services have climbed over time, while the red line excludes food and energy items from the calculation.
In the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures the average change in prices paid by urban consumers, the rate of inflation is described as the "all items" index, while the rate of core inflation, or underlying inflation, is listed as the "all items less food and energy" index.
The Inflation Calculator provided by following the link offers precise outcomes by presenting the accumulated inflation rate between specific months and years, instead of computing the overall inflation rate for calendar years (or up until the latest month for 2024), which is done by the more widely used calculator above.
Inflation and Prices
Inflation can impact the prices of various goods and services, including groceries and energy. When the overall price level of goods and services in an economy increases, it can lead to an increase in the prices of grocery items such as food, beverages, and household supplies. Similarly, inflation can also affect energy prices, including the cost of electricity, natural gas, and gasoline. To better understand the impact of inflation on these categories, follow the links below.
Why is news and rates for I bonds discussed on a site about inflation? The performance of these bonds is closely linked to the rate of inflation. In fact, Series I savings bonds are a type of U.S. government bond that is designed to protect against inflation. These bonds earn interest based on a combination of a fixed rate and a variable rate that is tied to the rate of inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U).

Gas, Food, and Other Inflation Items
In recent times, the United States has been experiencing a persistent increase in the average price of goods and services. This trend has persisted for several months, giving rise to concerns about inflationary pressures on the economy. To gain a better understanding of how inflation has affected different sectors, it is essential to examine how prices in specific areas have been impacted.
One significant area where inflation has been evident is at the pump. Gas prices have been on an upward trajectory, and the cost of filling up a tank has increased substantially. This increase in fuel costs can be attributed to various factors, including rising demand, reduced supply, and geopolitical tensions.
Food prices are another sector where inflation has been felt. The cost of groceries, especially fresh produce, has been rising steadily. This trend has been driven by various factors, including supply chain disruptions, weather-related events, and increased demand.
Links are available below to explore how inflation has affected different areas, such as prices at the pump, food prices, airline ticket prices, healthcare costs, and more. These resources offer an analysis of the impact of inflation on different sectors of the economy.
