Inflation data in the United States cools down

On February 13, 2026, the U.S. Department of Labor officially released the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for January.

The data showed that the overall CPI recorded a 2.4% increase, which is lower than economists' previous predictions.

Excluding the impact of food and energy prices, the core CPI rose by 2.5%. This data is in line with market expectations and marks the lowest record since 2021.

Based on the current situation, the market generally anticipates that the Federal Reserve will take action to cut interest rates in June.
