Significant Statistics | Inflation Stabilized

Inflation has stabilized over the last 12 months between 3% and 4%, though that rate is higher than the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%. The higher rate is likely due to increasing housing costs. Energy inflation levels are near their long-term average while price increases on food and everything else have slowed below their long-term average.
