- US inflation has varied month to month but remains near the Fed’s 2% target over a longer horizon, with recent readings showing both sticky components (like food and shelter) and signs of easing in some months.[4][6]

- Global inflation trends continue to influence markets, with major economies watching energy prices, supply chains, and wage dynamics as drivers of price changes.[1][6]
