Today’s Cleveland Fed CPI/PCE inflation nowcast — month, year, and quarterly annualized.

Tool description as the model sees it

Daily CPI and PCE inflation nowcasts (headline and core) from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland — keyless, NOT a FRED series. Answers “what is the Cleveland Fed inflation nowcast”, “current CPI estimate before the official release”, “PCE inflation nowcast today”. Returns month-over-month and year-over-year nowcasts for the current and prior month, plus quarterly annualized nowcasts for the current and next quarter. A blank value for a period/measure means the actual BLS (CPI) or BEA (PCE) release for that period has already been published, so the nowcast model stops estimating it. Updated every business day.
