SEPTEMBER 12, 2026 – August CPI came in at 3.4%. The monthly reading was +0.32%. It is looking like the index is getting back to being predictable. The data had forecast 3.2% to 3.5%. For the next report, the data expects 3.1% to 3.6%.
TRIVIA – I found this interesting. Maybe you will, too. When carrying your phone and it is giving you your location, it does NOT rely on GPS or mapping. It relies on time! The time it takes for the speed of light to travel from your phone to 4 different satellites is used to make 4 circles. The intersection of these circles provides your exact latitude, longitude, and altitude. Your location is based on time, not space. Go figure:)
