According to reports from The Wall Street Journal, data released by the US Department of Labor on Tuesday showed that in December 2025, the CPI rose by 2.7% year-on-year, while the core CPI increased by 2.6%, remaining unchanged from November. Currently, Federal Reserve officials are divided on whether to prioritize inflation or risks in the job market. They will closely monitor the report released on Tuesday to assess how businesses are passing on tariff-related costs to consumers. This December CPI report is the first comprehensive review of inflation trends in several months. Due to last year's government shutdown in the fall, the Labor Department was unable to collect price data on-site and had to use technical means to process missing data in the previous inflation report. Although the current inflation rate has slowed compared to previous years, prices of necessities such as food and insurance remain significantly higher. The December CPI report marks overall moderate inflation in 2025, despite a slight increase in inflation during the summer, but to a limited extent.
