US Consumer Price Index - December 2014
Posted on 09:09 by nice news
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) declined 0.4 percent
in December on a seasonally adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 0.8
percent before seasonal adjustment.
The gasoline index continued to fall sharply, declining 9.4 percent and leading
to the decrease in the seasonally adjusted all items index. The fuel oil index
also fell sharply, and the energy index posted its largest one-month decline
since December 2008, although the indexes for natural gas and for electricity
both increased. The food index, in contrast, rose 0.3 percent, its largest
increase since September.
The index for all items less food and energy was unchanged in December,
following a 0.2 percent increase in October and a 0.1 percent rise in November.
This was only the second time since 2010 that it did not increase. The shelter
index continued to rise, and the index for medical care posted its largest
increase since August 2013. However, these increases were offset by declines
in a broad array of indexes including apparel, airline fares, used cars and
trucks, household furnishings and operations, and new vehicles.
The all items index increased 0.8 percent over the last 12 months. This is
notably lower than the 1.3 percent change for the 12 months ending November.
The energy index has declined 10.6 percent over the span. In contrast, the
3.4 percent increase in the food index is its largest 12-month increase since
in December on a seasonally adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 0.8
