On an April 2023 episode of America’s Wealth Management Show, Dean Barber and Bud Kasper, CFP®, AIF® discussed how inflation was finally cooling after reaching a 41-year high in 2022. That continued to be the case for most of the rest of 2023. After year-over-year inflation hit 9.1% in June 2022, it fell to 3.1% by November 2023.

However, the cooling trend for inflation appears to have come to a halt since then. The Consumer Price Index, which is considered as one of the leading indicators of inflation, increased 0.4% in February 2024 and 3.2% over the last 12 months according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly report.
