Consumer Prices and Inflation Statistics 2026
This page collects 53 figures on consumer prices and inflation: the US Consumer Price Index and its main categories, food, shelter, energy, apparel and other goods, the euro area and UK measures, other large economies, central bank projections and what households expect prices to do next. It uses data published between September and November 2026, mostly from statistical offices (BLS, BEA, Eurostat, ONS, Statistics Canada, ABS), central banks (Federal Reserve, ECB, Bank of England) and international bodies (OECD, FAO). Because BLS did not collect October 2025 prices during the 2025 funding lapse, the latest US 12-month changes are for September 2026.

Short answer
US consumer prices rose 3.7% in the 12 months to September 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, driven by a 20.4% jump in energy prices while food rose 2.5% and shelter 3.2%. Euro area inflation was 4.0% in October 2026 per Eurostat's flash estimate, and UK CPI inflation was 3.5% in September 2026 according to the Office for National Statistics, with the Bank of England expecting it to reach around 5% by mid-2027.

Reading the numbers
The 2026 inflation picture is mostly an energy story. BLS puts the US energy index 20.4% higher in September 2026 than a year earlier, with gasoline up 34.2%, while the index excluding food and energy rose a more modest 2.6%. The same pattern shows up across the OECD, where energy inflation reached 17.4% in September and lifted headline inflation to 4.5%, while core inflation stayed broadly stable at 3.7%. Eurostat's October flash estimate puts euro area energy inflation at 20.8%.
Food is the main exception. US food at home prices rose only 1.8% over the year to September 2026, UK food and non-alcoholic beverage prices rose 1.3% (the lowest rate since 2021, per the ONS) and Canadian grocery prices rose 1.7%. USDA's Economic Research Service still forecasts beef and veal prices up 8.7% in 2026, offset by egg prices forecast to fall 29.3%. Prices at restaurants are rising faster than at grocery stores in both the US and UK.
Shelter remains the largest single driver of US core inflation because it carries about a third of the CPI weight, and it rose 3.2% over the year. Apparel prices rose 3.4% while used cars fell 1.5%, and core goods overall rose just 0.7%. In the UK, services inflation (3.7%) still runs ahead of goods (3.2%), and in the euro area services rose 3.3% in October against 1.2% for non-energy industrial goods.
Central banks are split on how to respond. The Federal Reserve held its target range at 3-3/4 to 4 percent in October 2026 with two dissents in favor of a hike, the ECB kept its deposit rate at 2.50% and the Bank of England raised Bank Rate to 4% in November. Households expect more inflation ahead: the New York Fed's October survey found median one-year expectations of 3.9%, and the University of Michigan's preliminary November reading was 4.3%.

Questions readers ask
- What is the current US inflation rate?
- The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that US consumer prices rose 3.7% in the 12 months to September 2026, and core prices excluding food and energy rose 2.6%. Prices rose a further 0.4% in October 2026, but BLS could not publish a 12-month rate for October because October 2025 data were not collected.
- How much have grocery prices gone up?
- US food at home prices rose 1.8% in the year to September 2026 according to BLS, while restaurant prices rose 3.5%. USDA's Economic Research Service forecasts grocery prices to rise 2.3% for all of 2026, with beef up 8.7% and eggs down 29.3%.
- Is inflation higher in the US, the euro area or the UK?
- They are now close. US CPI inflation was 3.7% in September 2026, euro area inflation was 3.8% in September and an estimated 4.0% in October per Eurostat, and UK CPI inflation was 3.5% in September according to the ONS. The measures differ in how they treat housing costs, so small gaps should not be over-read.
- Why did inflation rise in 2026?
- Mainly energy. The US energy index rose 20.4% over the year to September 2026, with gasoline up 34.2%, and the OECD reports energy inflation of 17.4% across member countries. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, stayed much lower at 2.6% in the US and about 2.5% in the euro area.
- What inflation do consumers expect next year?
- The New York Fed's October 2026 survey found US consumers expect 3.9% inflation over the next year, with rent expected to rise 7.7% and food 5.5%. The University of Michigan's preliminary November 2026 reading put year-ahead expectations at 4.3%.
Where these numbers come from
We used primary publishers only: statistical offices (BLS, BEA, Eurostat, ONS, Statistics Canada, ABS), central banks (Federal Reserve Board, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, ECB, Bank of England), USDA's Economic Research Service, the University of Michigan survey team, and international bodies (OECD, FAO). Every quote was refetched from the source page. Measures are not identical: the US CPI includes owner-occupied housing through owners' equivalent rent, while the euro area HICP and UK CPI exclude it (the UK's CPIH includes it). BLS could not publish 12-month changes for October 2026 because October 2025 prices were not collected during the 2025 funding lapse, so US annual figures stop at September 2026. Eurostat's October figures are flash estimates and may be revised, central bank projections are forecasts rather than outcomes, and the Michigan November figures are preliminary. We store the sentence each number appears in, and a script loads the publisher's page again to make sure that sentence is still there. Our methodology has the details.
