TREE NEWS update: The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will not publish 12-month (year-over-year) CPI or core CPI figures when it releases inflation data, the agency said. The release will therefore exclude the headline annual inflation rate and the annual core measure that markets and policymakers typically track. No reason for the omission was given.
US BLS to Omit 12-Month and Core CPI Figures in Inflation Release
AI take
The omission matters less for the monthly print than for the benchmark it removes: year-over-year CPI and core CPI are the figures the Fed's target and most market pricing conventions are defined against, so their absence complicates the read on inflation trends rather than merely trimming detail. BLS gave no reason, which leaves the gap's duration and cause as the open questions. Whether this is a one-off or the start of a recurring data gap is worth watching, since persistent holes in official statistics would affect how macro data is trusted across crypto and RWA markets alike.
