🔸 A critical point for monetary analysis is the core inflation rate (excluding volatile food and energy), which ticked slightly higher to 2.9% from 2.8%. 🔸 This persistent core metric suggests that structural price pressures within the domestic economy are remaining steady, even as broader headline commodity inputs stabilize. #CoreInflation #Statistics

Even though CPI came out as 4.2% ( As expected)in May 2026 which is higher than 3.8% previous month data, the Core CPI which is exclusive of oil and energy prices came out at 0.2% which is less than expected. This will give some headroom for delaying rate hikes as they can't control geopolitical scenarios to keep oil and energy prices under control. But if the war continues for another 30 to 60 days, Fed is likely to hike the interest rate even though the core CPI is low. #CPI #inflation #ratecut #USfed #coreinflation #IranWar‌ #Iran

⚡️Inflation in the 🇪🇺 eurozone rose to 2.6% YoY in March, the highest level in almost two years, up from 1.9% in February and above the 2.5% forecast. Energy inflation accelerated to 5.1% (from 4.9%), while a year earlier it was still negative at -3.1%.‼️Core inflation, excluding energy and food, stayed unchanged at 2.3%, signaling persistent underlying price pressures. The IMF has already downgraded Eurozone GDP growth to 1.1% from 1.3%. Economists note geopolitical disruptions in energy supply chains as a key driver of volatility. And this is not surprising. Inflation is no longer clearly converging to target, and policy rates may need to stay elevated longer. #EurozoneEconomy #CoreInflation #EnergyPrices Photo: @GettyImages

US Inflation: ‘Upside risks are greater’ Monthly increases in core inflation will be closely watched❗️ Looking at January data, since 2022 monthly gains have been at 0.4% or higher. This year, concerns are mounting that a similar pattern could emerge. Last year, inflation data was not released in October–November due to the shutdown, and December saw a moderate 0.2% rise. This has led to greater pricing-in of the possibility of an upside surprise in inflation. #USInflation #CoreInflation #Fed

2) 📉🍅 “Unpacking inflation: misleading core, weak demand, food prices” — the UPSC trap & the real story ✅ Core takeaway Headline inflation moving “down” or “up” can mislead if the basket composition is distorted. This highlights a key exam idea: “core inflation” can be misleading if items inside “core” behave abnormally (like gold/silver/petrol-diesel effects discussed in the piece). 🧠 UPSC mapping Prelims (Economy): CPI vs core vs food inflation; what each captures. GS3: demand conditions, monetary policy transmission, credibility of inflation targeting. Essay: “Numbers can lie, but realities don’t” — measurement vs lived cost-of-living. 🎯 Mains angle (why this matters) If food prices fall but demand is weak, headline inflation may look comfortable while growth/employment stress persists. If core is “contaminated” by volatile items, policy signals get noisy → wrong diagnosis, wrong rate action. 🔁 Backward-forward linking Inflation ↔ wages ↔ rural demand ↔ MGNREGA ↔ fiscal stress ↔ political economy (you’ll see this connect with the MGNREGS revamp clipping below). 🔍 Complex terms made simple CPI: consumer price index; measures retail inflation for households. Core inflation: inflation excluding food and fuel (meant to show underlying demand pressure). Food inflation: price changes in food items; highly volatile, politically sensitive. Demand compression: people buy less due to low income/job uncertainty → slows price rise but hurts growth. 📌 #UPSC #Inflation #CPI #CoreInflation #MonetaryPolicy #GS3 📉💹🍲
