In December 2025, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the United States remained steady at 2.7%, marking no change from the previous month of November. This metric, updated on January 13, 2026, highlights a year-over-year comparison that suggests inflationary pressures have stabilized during this period.
The December CPI data caps off a year where economic policymakers and analysts closely monitored inflation trends amidst a backdrop of varied economic signals. While some months have shown volatility indicating fluctuating demand and price pressures, the consistent 2.7% for both November and December 2025 offers some reassurance of price stability.
This leveling extends across many sectors, providing consumers and businesses a sense of predictability as they plan for the upcoming fiscal year. The steady CPI could influence future monetary policy decisions as the Federal Reserve assesses its strategies for interest rates and inflation management moving into 2026.
