🚨 BREAKING: US Inflation Hits the Fed’s 2% Target!
The magic number is finally here. According to the latest real-time data from Truflation, US Inflation has officially dropped to 2.0%, perfectly hitting the Federal Reserve’s long-standing target.
After a volatile second half of the year—where we saw rates bounce from 1.6% in August up to nearly 2.8% in November—the final weeks of December have shown a massive cooling trend.
Why This Matters Right Now:
The Green Light for the Fed: With inflation hitting the 2% bullseye, the pressure is on the Federal Reserve to consider more aggressive interest rate cuts in early 2026.
The "Soft Landing" is Real: This data suggests the economy is cooling down without crashing, a scenario many thought was impossible a year ago.
Real-Time vs. Lagging Data: While official government reports (BLS) often take weeks to catch up, this real-time index shows that the "boots on the ground" cost of living is stabilizing faster than expected.
What’s Next?
All eyes are now on the official January BLS report. If the government data confirms what we’re seeing here, expect a major shift in the housing and lending markets as we head into the new year.
