Falling below 3% is proving a difficult task for Headline CPI. Since Oct 2023 Core CPI has only declined from 4% to 3.8%

The Feds 2% target is looking like a heard target to stretch down too. We have not yet breached the 3% level on either the headline or core CPI front. In June 2023 Headline CPI touched the 3% level for one month and has not reached back down to it since.

You can see from the chart that historically moderate inflation is between 1 and 3%, however we have not moved into this moderate zone and it appears its quite the resistance to break down into, even for headline CPI
