CONSUMER PRICE INDEX - NOVEMBER 2025
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis over the 2 months from September 2025 to November 2025, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 2.7 percent before seasonal adjustment. BLS did not collect survey data for October 2025 due to a lapse in appropriations. - BLS

CPI is based on a basket of goods. With most items missing from this data, 2.7% should be worrying as the other items are yet to be accounted. What is concerning is not the incomplete data?
What is concerning is the willingness to publish this and claim that inflation has gone down.
This is a part of transparency, accountability and consistency required of leaders. When the data fails, sentiments take over.
You are losing your citizens and international partners.
Let's monitor closely.
