Breaking News: CPI Data Reveals Surprising Trends

Today, I’m sharing some critical inflation news you need to know about. A couple of weeks ago, we received CPI data, which stands for the consumer price index. This index serves as a significant indicator for tracking inflation. The reported value was 3% year-on-year, a relatively positive figure. However, it's worth noting that the Federal Reserve's target is 2% inflation. This variance in numbers played a role in the recent decision by the Fed to increase the interest rate by 25 basis points during their meeting last week.

This data illustrates progress, particularly if we manage to approach or reach the desired 2% inflation target. Achieving this goal would bode well for our economic situation. In such a scenario, mortgage rates could probably decrease. I'll continue to provide updates on this matter.
