Release windowWhere Consumer Price Index lands in the trading day
What it measuresConsumer Price Index, in one paragraph
The Consumer Price Index measures the average change over time in the prices urban consumers pay for a fixed basket of goods and services. It is the number most U.S. inflation adjustments, cost-of-living clauses, and real-wage calculations are built on.
What JMM reads first
The headline year-over-year rate is what gets reported and the component detail is what changes a decision. Shelter and services turn slowly, energy turns fast, and the two can point in opposite directions inside one print, which is how an index can look soft in aggregate while every category a household actually buys keeps rising. Read the components before you read the headline, and check which month is being annualised before you compare anything to a forecast.
The series this release carries Where consumer price index for all urban consumers: all items, u.s. city average stands right now
JMM's latest reading of this series covers the July 2026 reference period, read straight from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics public API on the collection run below. The reference period is the month a value describes, not the day it was published, and the two are never the same month for a series like this one.

The published run What annual inflation has actually measured, 2006 to 2025
This release publishes the monthly index. The annual averages below are the same series, averaged over each calendar year, which is the basis every published inflation adjustment and the JMM inflation calculator run on.
The fastest year in this window was 2022, at +8.0%. Only 2009 fell, at -0.4%. 2025 came in at +2.6%, on an index level of 321.943 (index, 1982-84=100). Annual averages, so a single hot month does not read as a year.
