Truflation predicts September US CPI at 3.6% as gasoline and tariffs rise
Truflation has released a forecast for the United States consumer price index (CPI) for September. The organization expects the overall CPI to increase to 3.6 percent for the month. In its outlook, Truflation notes that gasoline prices and tariff-related costs are contributing to the upward pressure on inflation. At the same time, the forecast indicates that core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy items, is projected to stay at 2.4 percent. The predicted figures are positioned ahead of the official CPI release scheduled for Wednesday. If the actual CPI aligns with the forecast, it would suggest continued inflationary pressures despite stable core rates. Observers will compare the Truflation estimate with the government data when it becomes available later in the week.
