Dettman https://www.dettman.io/projects.html quarto-1.9.37 Mon, 04 May 2026 16:23:10 GMT Consumer Price Index https://www.dettman.io/projects/econ-cpi/ The Consumer Price Index (CPI) tracks price changes across a basket of goods and services that urban consumers actually buy. It’s the most widely-cited inflation gauge in the U.S. and feeds into everything from Social Security cost-of-living adjustments to TIPS yields. The charts below cover headline CPI, core CPI, sub-category breakdowns (housing, energy, food, transportation, travel), and a side-by-side comparison with PCE — all refreshed directly from FRED on each build.

  • Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index – A broader inflation measure that reflects changes in consumer spending habits and is favored by the Federal Reserve.
  • Producer Price Index for All Commodities – Measures price changes from the producer’s perspective, indicating inflation before costs reach consumers.


  • CPI: All Items Less Shelter – Measures inflation for everything except housing costs, showing price changes for things like food, gas, and clothing without rent or homeownership expenses.
  • CPI: All Items Less Food & Energy, Seasonally Adjusted – Tracks inflation but excludes food and energy, which are more volatile, giving a smoother inflation trend.
  • CPIAUCSL CPI: All Items, Seasonally Adjusted – The broadest CPI measure, covering all consumer goods and services, adjusted to remove seasonal effects like holiday shopping spikes.

Together they describe how tight the labor market is and where wage pressure is coming from.

Supplemental Notes


Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims

  • Continued Claims: 4-Week Moving Average – This tracks the average number of people who continue to receive unemployment benefits over the past four weeks, smoothing out short-term fluctuations.
  • See Supplemental notes for more information.
  • Continued claims, also referred to as insured unemployment, is the number of people who have already filed an initial claim and who have experienced a week of unemployment and then filed a continued claim to claim benefits for that week of unemployment. Continued claims data are based on the week of unemployment, not the week when the initial claim was filed.
  • An initial claim is a claim filed by an unemployed individual after a separation from an employer. The claim requests a determination of basic eligibility for the Unemployment Insurance program.
  • Initial Claims: 4-Week Moving Average – This measures the average number of new people filing for unemployment benefits each week over the last four weeks, helping to show trends in job losses.

Treasury Yields

Treasury yields represent the return on investment for U.S. government debt securities, rate will vary based on the security’s term length.

Supplemental Info

Key Treasury Yields

  • 3-Month Treasury Bill aka T-Bill – Good for tracking short-term interest rate trends and Fed policy expectations.
  • 2-Year Treasury Note – Closely watched for Fed policy expectations; tends to react quickly to interest rate changes.
  • 5-Year Treasury Note – A middle ground between short- and long-term bonds; useful for gauging medium-term economic sentiment.
  • 10-Year Treasury Note – The most important benchmark for long-term rates, mortgage rates, and economic growth expectations.
  • 30-Year Treasury Bond – Watched for long-term inflation expectations and investor confidence in sustained economic growth.


Interpretation

  • Short-term (3M, 2Y): Directly impacted by Federal Reserve interest rate changes.
  • Medium-term (5Y): A balance between growth expectations and interest rate sensitivity.
  • Long-term (10Y, 30Y): Signals economic confidence, inflation expectations, and mortgage rate trends.


Key Terms

  • Treasury Bills (T-Bills): Short-term securities maturing in 4, 13, 26, or 52 weeks. They are sold at a discount and redeemed at face value upon maturity. The difference represents the interest earned.
  • Treasury Notes (T-Notes): Medium-term securities with maturities of 2, 3, 5, 7, or 10 years. They pay a fixed interest rate every six months until maturity.
  • Treasury Bonds (T-Bonds): Long-term securities maturing in 20 or 30 years. Like T-Notes, they pay a fixed interest rate semiannually.
  • Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS): These are designed to protect against inflation. The principal value adjusts based on changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), ensuring that your investment keeps pace with inflation. TIPS are available with maturities of 5, 10, and 30 years.
  • Floating Rate Notes (FRNs): These have variable interest rates that adjust periodically. The rates are tied to the discount rates of 13-week T-Bills. FRNs have a two-year maturity and pay interest quarterly.
  • Yield Curve: a plot the yields of Treasury securities against their maturities.
    • A normal upward-sloping curve suggests economic growth.
    • An inverted curve can indicate a potential recession.
