Inflation, Rate Decision & Cost-of-Living Data Watch

Track cost-of-living data for US households. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days and the coming 7 days: CPI, PCE, PPI and jobs report releases with headline figures, the three categories that moved most, and regional variations; Federal Reserve rate decisions, statements and projections translated into effects on mortgage, HELOC, auto loan, credit card and savings rates; Social Security COLA announcements and projections from official data; minimum wage, tax bracket, benefit and contribution limit indexing changes tied to inflation; EIA gas and USDA food price data with notable moves; and scheduled release dates within 7 days. Prefer BLS, BEA, Federal Reserve, SSA, EIA and USDA sources; ignore market commentary and predictions. Put the release and the figure first in the title. Use high severity for a Fed rate change, a CPI surprise over 0.3 points from consensus, or a COLA announcement. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary in plain language, sections for the figure, what moved, what it means for household costs, the next release date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
