United States Core Inflation Rate MoM

Core consumer prices in the U.S., which exclude food and energy, rose by 0.1% month-over-month in March 2025, following a 0.2% increase in February and falling short of the market expectation of 0.3%. This was the lowest monthly gain since June 2024. The rise was driven by higher prices in personal care, medical care, education, apparel, and new vehicles, but was partially offset by declines in airline fares, motor vehicle insurance, used cars and trucks, and recreation.
