The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) declined to 324.12 points in November 2025 from 324.80 points in September 2025, while core CPI increased to 331.068 points from 330.542 points over the same period. This development reflects a broad easing of overall price pressures, driven mainly by declines in more volatile components such as food prices. In contrast, the rise in core CPI, which excludes food and energy, indicates that underlying inflationary pressures remain, particularly within non-energy services, including housing rent costs. It should be noted that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) did not collect survey data for October 2025 due to the federal government shutdown, resulting in the absence of CPI and inflation data for that month.
