The Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures inflation on the consumer level, decreased by 0.2% to 2.7% year over year, which was lower than the 3.1% estimate. The Core CPI Rate, which strips out food and energy prices decreased by 0.4% to 2.6% year over year, which was lower than expectations of 3%.
Rate cuts were supposed to cause 15% inflation and evil tariffs

It's almost as if Trump knows what he's doing.

Inflation is a function of how much we spend versus how much we take in in revenue over time. The reaction to this value isn't chronological, it is a bubble.
What happened in 2009 - market collapse due to .gov manipulation of the real estate market - wasn't a result of what happened over the previous 90 days.
The current Admin is doing what the previous Admin did, and what the Admin previous to that did - spending $2,000,000,000,000 MORE per year than they revenued. Bursting bubble incoming.

I wish Trump would tariff more and talk more about eliminating the 16th amendment. This country's government was funded by tariffs longer than it was funded by the 16th amendment. The 16th amendment is theft.

Outside of beef which has nothing to do with tariffs and coffee which does, the prices of most groceries have stabilized. The constant complainers never supported Trump like SFP and Rog. Goldennugget will weep for Trump after the next administration floods the nation with 10 million more immigrants

CPI Report- Inflation plummets thanks to Tariffs and Rate Cuts
But it is fair to say tariffs and these rate cuts (rather small) did not have near about the negative effect predicted.
It will take people much smarter than myself to say if the rate cuts and tariffs added enough growth where they were a significant factor in dropping the CPI.
From where I'm looking, at least on the surface, the drop in inflation is a result of growth coming from jobs growth absorbing AI labor transitions rather well while the labor force participation rate is increasing.
2 Notes:
- left will focus on unemployment RATE increasing which is driven, mainly, by a resurgence in labor force participation rate
- Increase in LFPR is due to freebies being cut AND illegals being removed from the market which held wages down for citizens- now they see it as being worth it.

Biggest surprise today beyond Core CPI plunge ?
Strength in USD given Trump is telling you he is appointing somebody who takes a chainsaw to Fed Funds & who got supporting CPI today

CPI rent costs up just 3.4% in November .... was 8+% in 2023 as Biden & Democrats stampeded illegals into USA by the millions
Lowest in 4yrs
Was 4.8% in Dec 2024
With over a million either deported or self deported, guess what America, rents stop soaring
Send a few million more home & rents will plunge
Watch food prices fall next without millions of illegals armed with foodstamps driving up food costs for legal Americans
Core CPI YoY up just 2.6% is lowest since Biden's first few months in office when CPI soared
