TRANSPORTATION INFLATION RATE
March, 2015 Data:
The forecast for the US Transportation Inflation Rate is in the table at the top of
this page. Forecast-Chart.com is forecasting that Transportation Inflation Rates
will be roughly 4.15% over the next year. The table shows a HDTFA of 5.59%
which suggests that the inflation rate for transportation prices in the US for the
12 months ending April, 2016 could easily fall between 9.74% and -1.44%.
Links to Forecasts for many other economic indicators may be found at the top
of this page. The transportation price index used in this article is the Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers: Transportation, hereinafter referred as
the transportation price index.
Annual US Transportation Inflation Rate
Last Month 33.5%
Last Year . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -8.7%
Last 5 Years 2.8%
Last 10 Years . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.7%
Last 20 Years 2.4%
Annual Transportation Inflation Rate: Highs & Lows
High (Last 12 Months) 1.8% (May, 2014)
Low (Last 12 Months) -10.6% (January, 2015)
High (Since January, 1948) 23.1% (March, 1980)
Low (Since January, 1948) -14.3% (May, 2009)
The annual Transportation Inflation Rate for the 12 months ended in March,
2015 was -8.73%. That's 0.92% percent higher than the 12 months ended in
February, 2015 which inflated at a rate of -9.66%. It is 7.53% percent lower
than the 12 months ended in March, 2014 which inflated at a rate of -1.20%.
The sideways movement in inflation rates from February to March indicates that
the short term inflation trend in transportation prices has been flat. If that trend
continues, we should see an inflation rate for the 12 months ended in April,
2015 that is close to -7.81%.
The USA Transportation Inflation Rate one year ago was -1.20%. Over the last
year, inflation in the transportation price index was -8.73%. The average rate
over the last 10 years was 2.71%. Lower 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 Transportation Inflation Rate is down. Inflation
expectations should be adjusted accordingly.
Forecast-Chart.com's historical research covers Transportation Inflation Rate
data back to January, 1948. The average annual inflation rate in transportation
prices during that period of history was 3.80%. The highest rate was 23.07%.
The lowest rate was -14.26%. The high was attained in the 12 months ended in
March of 1980. The low was achieved in the 12 months ended in May of 2009.
Recent rates experienced in the 12 months ended in March of 2015 are low
relative to the historical 3.80% average.
