One food staple that saw a price cut was eggs, which fell 20.9% from a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>The latest CPI reading closes out a year marked by <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/economists-grade-us-economy-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">economic resilience<\/a><\/span> alongside lingering price pressures. Inflation stayed at or below 3% throughout 2025, well below the pandemic peak of 9.1% in June 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, the CPI climbed for several months in 2025 in the wake of the Trump administration&#8217;s <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-liberation-day-new-tariffs-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">tariff announcements<\/a><\/span>, although the levies didn&#8217;t reignite inflation to the extent that some economists had predicted. The tariff impact was more muted on inflation than predicted because many retailers <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/us-tariffs-trump-inflation-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">swallowed some tariff costs<\/a><\/span> rather than passing them on directly to customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, cooling inflation did not translate into price relief. Prices continued to rise, leaving many households feeling pinched and complicating efforts to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/fewer-young-adults-reaching-adulthood-milestones-census-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">save for retirement<\/a><\/span> or buy a home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Inflation remains a challenge, with core PCE inflation holding above the Federal Reserve&#8217;s 2% target for 55 months,&#8221; noted Seema Shah, chief global strategist at investment firm Principal Asset Management, in a Tuesday email.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Reserve cut rates three times in the final months of 2025 to counter a cooling labor market, despite inflation remaining above the central bank&#8217;s 2% target. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said labor-market headwinds outweighed the risk of renewed price pressures. The next Fed meeting is scheduled for Jan. 27 to 28.<\/p>\n<h2>What experts are saying<\/h2>\n<p>While inflation isn&#8217;t accelerating, it remains above the Federal Reserve&#8217;s target rate, analysts noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By most accounts, inflation is unlikely to drop to the 2% target in 2026, although it may gravitate towards that target, assuming that Fed independence stays intact,&#8221; said Carla Nunes, a Managing Director within Kroll&#8217;s Financial Advisory Practice, in an email.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts noted that core inflation was cooler than anticipated. The inflation measure, which excludes the food and energy categories, rose 0.2% in December, lower than the 0.3% increase expected by economists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stepping back from the noise and volatility, core goods inflation appears to have peaked,&#8221; Michael Pearce, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, said in an email note.<\/p>\n<p>While some measures signal inflation is cooling, Americans are still facing high costs in certain categories, including food and shelter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;December&#8217;s CPI report reinforces price pressure is edging higher across key consumer product categories that matter most to consumers,&#8221; said Rob Holston, EY global and Americas consumer products leader, in an email.<\/p>\n<p>Taken together, today&#8217;s inflation data and the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/jobs-report-december-2025-economy-trump-hiring-bls\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">latest jobs
