Key drivers

  • Shelter inflation slowed sharply in June but rent and OER remained positive
  • Lodging away from home was a one-month drag that may partly unwind
  • Recent seven-month shelter reference class centers near 0.30 percent
  • July first print resolves from the same seasonally adjusted CPI-U shelter variant

Resolution

source
ALFRED first-print mirror of the official U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U shelter series CUSR0000SAH1
expected
August 12, 2026
rule
Resolve to the first-print July 2026 value for the seasonally adjusted CPI-U shelter series for U.S. city average, CUSR0000SAH1, as mirrored by ALFRED/FRED under the registered first-print binding. The underlying official economic release is the BLS Consumer Price Index release scheduled for August 12, 2026. Compute month-over-month percent growth from the first-print July 2026 and June 2026 seasonally adjusted index levels as 100*(July/June - 1), or use the BLS first-print seasonally adjusted percent-change table if exact first-print index levels are not exposed at resolution time. Do not revise for later seasonal-adjustment revisions or subsequent corrections unless the first-print file itself is replaced before ordinary publication.
