The U.S. GDP Price Index for the fourth quarter of 2025 came in at 3.8% quarter-over-quarter, slightly above the previous reading of 3.7%, according to data updated on 13 March 2026. The indicator measures price changes across the entire economy and is a key gauge of broad inflationary trends.
The latest figure shows that price growth accelerated modestly compared with the prior quarter, when the 3.7% increase reflected conditions in the quarter before. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, the current 3.8% reading suggests that inflationary pressures remained firm rather than easing at the end of 2025.
With the actual result only marginally higher than the previous quarter’s pace, markets are likely to interpret the data as confirmation that underlying price growth is steady but not surging, keeping attention focused on how long such inflation levels may persist into 2026 and what that may imply for future policy decisions.
