Part 1: OVERALL INFLATION RATE
January, 2010 Data:
The forecast for the US Inflation Rate is in the table at the top of this page. We
are forecasting that US Inflation Rates will be roughly 1.52% over the next year.
The table shows a HDTFA of 0.52% which suggests that US inflation for the 12
months ending February, 2011 could easily fall between 2.05% and 1.00%.
Links to Forecasts for many other economic indicators may be found on the left
side of this page.
The annual US Inflation Rate for the 12 months ended in January, 2010 was
2.63%. That's 0.10% percent lower than the 12 months ended in December,
2009 which inflated at a rate of 2.72%. It is 2.60% percent higher than the 12
months ended in January, 2009 which inflated at a rate of 0.03%. The fall in
inflation rates from December to January indicates that the short term inflation
trend has been down. If that trend continues, we should see an inflation rate for
the 12 months ended in February, 2010 that is close to 2.53%.
The US Inflation Rate one year ago was 0.03%. Over the last year it was 2.63%.
The average rate over the last 10 years was 2.57%. Higher inflation over the
last 12 months compared to the average inflation over the last 10 years serves
as an indicator that the long term trend in the US Inflation Rate is up. Inflation
expectations should be adjusted accordingly.
ForecastChart.com's historical research covers US Inflation Rate data back to
January, 1922. The average annual inflation rate during that period of history
was 2.95%. The highest rate was 19.67%. The lowest rate was -11.05%. The
high was attained in the 12 months ended in March of 1947. The low was
achieved in the 12 months ended in January of 1922. Recent rates experienced
in the 12 months ended in January of 2010 are similar to the historical 2.95%
average.
Part 2: INFLATION RATE BY CATEGORY
January, 2010 Data:
There are many types of inflation that are included in the ANNUAL US
INFLATION RATE. There's Food, Apparel, Education, Energy, Transportation,
Medical Care, Recreation and Housing Inflation. All these are included in the
overall US Inflation rate.
Prices can be rising rapidly in certain inflation categories but actually falling in
others. If you are young and healthy, you may spend more heavily on
education, apparel, recreation or transportation. Senior's spend a greater
portion of their budget on medical care.
Your inflation rate could be much higher than the overall rate!
Falling home values may result in a declining cost of housing. But not for you, if
you already own your own home! Your mortgage payments don't decline just
because the value of your home has fallen.
Housing deflation may lower the overall inflation rate. In that case, inflation for a
homeowner may be much higher than the overall inflation rate!
The key question is this: WHAT IS YOUR INFLATION RATE?
INFLATION BY CATEGORY is shown below:
