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.
