U.S. Inflation

U.S. inflation refers to the annual rate of increase in prices for goods and services across the economy, typically measured by indexes such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI). Inflation impacts consumer purchasing power, business costs, and investment decisions, and is closely monitored by policymakers, including the Federal Reserve, to guide interest rate adjustments and economic strategy. High or volatile inflation can affect market stability and economic growth.
