Consumer Price Index (CPI)

What I actually like less about Super Core increasing is that is pretty broad this month, and not only transportation as in other months.


However, transportation is still the bigger driver y/y, which remains very sticky.

The other category is probably the remaining all of the other small services, not disaggregated by the BLS, at least not in their release.
They disaggregate some “other personal services”, but there is still some % missing.
When I was working on the weights of CPI, I also realized there is a % (something like 1%) that they don’t disaggregate. But without access to Bloomberg difficult to know how they are getting or calculating this data.
