August CPI Report: What It Means for the Economy and Markets The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has just released its latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, and the numbers are shaping market expectations in a big way. Headline CPI rose 0.2% month-on-month and 2.7% year-on-year, while core CPI—which excludes food and energy—climbed 0.3% for the month and 3.1% from last year, in line with forecasts. Traders reacted quickly, ramping up bets that the Federal Reserve could start cutting interest rates as early as September. Interestingly, while some tariff-related price increases showed up in certain categories, other sectors typically impacted by import duties saw little to no effect.
