Core pce inflation ticked down to 2.82% year over year in September from 2.90% in August 2025, but for 3Q2025 it ticked up to 2.86% yoy, which is elevated 78% above pre-pandemic experience

 But the damn fools will cut DFF again no doubt, despite the fact that recent cuts averaging 1.44 have done nothing to reduce inflation, or increase it.

The inflation rate has been going sideways the whole time in the high 2s since April 2024. 

The metric averaged 1.61% 2016-2020 inclusive.

At 1.61% inflation your money is worth half what it was in 45 years, at 2.86% just 25 years.
