LIVE CPI DATA INFLATION REPORT | APRIL 2026
In a Nutshell
April 2026 CPI report showed overall CPI rising 0.9% month-over-month to 3.3% (vs. expected 1% to 3.4%), with core CPI at 2.6% (vs. 2.7% forecast), driven by a 10.9% energy surge including 21.2% gasoline jump, while food was flat and medical care dropped 1%. Markets initially rose 0.2-0.3% on the slightly softer-than-expected print, shrugging off inflation above the Fed's 2% target. Rising pressures may deter rate cuts and support hikes, with delayed sell-offs possible; host promotes LPP trading service.

Countdown to release. Markets pushing higher despite inflation rising. Overall CPI increased 0.9%. Core CPI came in at 2.6% vs. forecasted 2.7%. Overall CPI at 3.3% instead of 3.4%.
Market reacting positively, up 0.2-0.3%. Expectations were 1% increase but got 0.9%, possibly seen as not as bad as feared. Focus on last 12 months before seasonal adjustment. Current inflation at 3.3%, above 2% target. Does not include October or November due to government shutdown, yet still at 3.3% and now adding March data.
Sharp push from February to March. Core CPI from 2.5% to 2.6%. Breakdown:

Overall CPI inflation rate for consumers: 3.3%. Month-over-month from February to March: 0.9% increase (from 2.4% to 3.3%). Core CPI (all items less food and energy): 0.2% increase to 2.6%.
Markets holding elevated levels, shrugging off report initially. Often, markets react later (days or week after) with sell-off blaming rising inflation. Rising inflation makes Federal Reserve less likely to cut rates; could support rate hikes to slow economy.
Report not entertaining; hopes for action at market open. Invites to live trading session at market open. LPP (Learn Blind Profit): one-time payment, lifetime access.

Plans to go live at market open after tea; under the weather, losing voice. Aim for green year.
