US Core Inflation Rate Steady at 4-Year Low

US Core Inflation Rate Steady at 4-Year Low

In April 2025, the United States experienced an annual core consumer price inflation rate of 2.8%, maintaining the same level as in March and meeting market predictions. Notably, this figure marks a four-year low by excluding the typically volatile sectors of food and energy. The shelter index, a significant component responsible for over two-thirds of the total 12-month rise, remained steady at 4%, identical to March's numbers. Other sectors also recorded increases, such as medical care with a 1% rise, motor vehicle insurance soaring by 6.4%, education climbing by 3.8%, and recreation increasing by 1.6%. On a monthly scale, core consumer prices saw a 0.2% increase in April, marginally higher than the 0.1% rise in March, and slightly below the anticipated 0.3% growth expected by the market.
