🇺🇸 U.S. INFLATION DIVERGES BETWEEN OFFICIAL AND REAL-TIME DATA



While some independent trackers report inflation near 1%, official U.S. government data shows headline inflation still above the Fed’s 2% target. As of February 2026, the CPI stood at 2.4% YoY, and the Fed’s preferred core PCE gauge was 3.0% through December 2025.

US INFLATION DROPS TO 0.95%. (REAL TIME DATA)
THE FED'S TARGET IS 2%.

Private “real-time” sources like Truflation suggest a much lower figure, around 0.95%, citing falling energy prices and subdued consumer price acceptance. This divergence highlights the challenge facing Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve, which must balance its dual mandate of maximum employment and stable prices while under political pressure for rate cuts.

Persistently low inflation could depress consumer spending, strain businesses, and risk higher unemployment, keeping Powell’s final months in office under intense scrutiny.
