US Inflation Update: September Data Shows Cooling, But Exceeds Expectations

Is US inflation finally cooling? September\'s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data reveals a complex picture. While inflation has fallen, it\'s not as significant as many hoped. This page breaks down the key figures and what they mean for you.

September Inflation Numbers: A Closer Look

The latest report indicates that US inflation fell to 2.4% in September 2025, according to consumer price index data released by the Labor Department on Oct. 10. This is a welcome drop from the 2.5% year-over-year increase reported the previous month. However, this figure still exceeded expectations, cementing expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by a quarter point at their next meeting. The consumer price index rose 2.4% in September from 12 months earlier, slightly higher than the 2.3% expected.

Breaking down the components, the report shows that consumer prices increased 0.4% in September after rising 0.1% in August. The CPI is a broad measure of what Americans pay for everyday goods and services. While inflation fell to its lowest level in 3-and-a-half years in August, this latest uptick warrants careful consideration.

Core Inflation: Excluding Food and Energy

To get a clearer picture of underlying inflationary pressures, economists often look at "core inflation," which excludes volatile food and energy prices. In September, a gauge that strips out food and energy prices was 3.3%, the government reported.

What Does This Mean for the Federal Reserve?

With inflation cooling but still above the Fed\'s target, the central bank faces a delicate balancing act. Official figures showed that inflation in the US continued to cool last month, raising confidence that the US central bank will cut interest rates next week. Expect further analysis and commentary on potential interest rate adjustments in the coming weeks.

Key Takeaways:

Headline Inflation: Consumer prices are still rising, but at a slower pace than previous months.
Core Inflation: Underlying inflation remains a concern.
Federal Reserve: Expect potential interest rate cuts, but the timing and magnitude are still uncertain.
