That is down from the 3.7% in September. The Fed and the WH are slowly shipping away at a, pandemic caused, spike in inflation. If this trend continues into December, the Fed may leave interest rates at their present level. Bidenomics in slowly working and should lead to a long term trend of stability in the US economy. Other countries in the world are still seeing record high inflation, no so true of the US.

Inflation rate could go to Zero. Damage is done. Prices are 30% higher and housing prices are 40-50% higher and the interest rate has tripled.
Obama and team are working overtime to "get the job done"

Indeed the damage is done, all that free money during COVID has left a lasting legacy.

Over time wages will catch up to prices as they always do after periods of high inflation.

Interest rates will come down, but hopefully never as low as they were for the decade after the 2008 recession.

The shutting down of businesses to purposely tank the economy is taking a toll as well. :rolleyes-41:

Prices will never return to 2021 levels. Salaries have risen with inflation and no one. especially the sexual abuser trump, can change that. But inflation is ticking down and gas prices are falling just in time for the holiday travel.

I'm guessing you don't understand that the 3.2% number is on top of the cpi numbers that came before it?
