* Note on October Year-on-Year Figures: The BLS did not publish

12-month annual percentage changes for October 2026 because October 2025

price data was not collected during the 2025 federal government shutdown.

Prior to the release, the Cleveland Fed Nowcast model had projected annual

headline CPI at 3.7% and annual Core CPI at 2.5%.
