Don’t get used to the decline in the U.S. rate of inflation to a four-year low. Inflation will probably rise, at least temporarily, even after the Trump administration reduced high tariffs.

At least one official at the Federal Reserve is still skeptical about the trajectory of inflation and the economy, despite developments this week that cheered investors.

These are today's mortgage and refinance rates. Mortgage rates often drop when inflation eases. But we still haven't seen the full effects of tariffs.

Rising rent prices were a major factor pushing up consumer prices in April. While they’re expected to come down in the months ahead as the U.S. economy slows, the path ahead will be bumpy, according to data from real-estate companies.

Annualized inflation eased to a 2.3 percent pace, the lowest since early 2021. But the month-to-month pace of inflation increased.

German inflation eased further to 2.2% in April, the federal statistics office said on Wednesday, confirming preliminary data.

TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan's wholesale prices rose 4.0% in the year to April, slowing from the previous month as the yen's rebound took pressure off import costs, central bank data showed on Wednesday. But stubbornly high fuel and rice prices underscore the pain companies face from rising raw material costs, the data showed.

Because it's based on third-quarter inflation, it's impossible to predict the 2026 COLA with any degree of accuracy. Because of the ongoing tariff back-and-forth, as well as a generally slowing U.S. economy, the inflation rate on the back end of the year is more uncertain than it usually is.
