US consumer inflation was a bit tighter in April 2025 as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% on a month-to-month basis after falling 0.1% in March, missing forecasts. Monthly inflation dropped back to a 2.3% level last seen in February 2021 from a 2.4% increase in March as declining food prices reversed increases in shelter and energy prices; shelter contributed more than half of the monthly rise, and energy rose 0.7% and food declined 0.1%. Core CPI, which does not include food and energy, also rose 0.2% for the month and 2.8% over the last year, showing further easing of underlying inflation pressures.
