BLS Drops 12-Month CPI Figures From October Report After September Hit 3.7%
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Nov 9
Summary
The October CPI release will omit the 12-month percent change for both headline and core inflation, stripping out one of the report’s most closely watched readings.
BLS typically publishes both month-over-month and year-over-year changes, with the annual figure serving as the main gauge of inflation for the broader public.
September’s 12-month CPI reading was 3.7%, making the missing annual comparison a notable gap in this week’s report.
