How to read these numbers

Each card shows its own observation period. CPI and PCE show headline inflation. Arrows compare consecutive monthly or quarterly readings; “pts” means percentage points. They show direction, not whether a move is good or bad. Small charts use separate scales and leave gaps for missing readings.

The federal funds card shows the latest daily effective rate. Its history combines monthly averages with the latest daily reading, matching the detailed chart, so no monthly change is claimed. Payroll growth shows the monthly change; its detailed chart retains the three- and twelve-month averages.
