Consumer Price Inflation, Monthly

Contributions to Headline Inflation

Each bar splits headline year-over-year inflation into the percentage-point contribution of the major expenditure groups; the line is headline CPI itself. The five largest current contributors are shown separately, the rest are bundled.

Breadth of Price Increases

Computed over the individually priced items of the detailed-item table: the share whose price is up at least 2% on a year earlier, and the share falling. Broad inflation means most items rising, not a few large movers.
