***

The Consumer Price Index rose at an annual rate of 2.7% in the final month of 2025, according to most economists’ forecasts and unchanged from the previous month, capping a year when many Americans felt squeezed by price pressures.

The CPI was expected to rise 2.6% on an annual basis last month, according to economists surveyed by financial data firm FactSet. 

The CPI tracks the changes in a basket of goods and services typically bought by consumers, such as food and apparel. 

Inflation last month matched November’s 2.7% annual pace, signaling that prices did not ease further at the end of the year.
