Truflation US CPI tracks millions of prices at the point of sale across the US, both digital and brick-and-mortar, to calculate a year-over-year percentage rate each day.
Although our numbers are never exactly the same as the BLS CPI (the official headline inflation), our analyses show you can use our data to predict changes in the BLS CPI trends with a 45-72 day lead.
In periods of higher data volatility, the lead extends to the 72-days.
Truflation US CPI today: 0.68%
Official US CPI for December: 2.7%
