    Sticky-Price CPI

    Published by 11:00 a.m. (ET) on the day of the CPI release, the sticky price index sorts the components of the consumer price index (CPI) into either flexible or sticky (slow to change) categories based on the frequency of their price adjustment.

    Latest update: 4.7 percent — May 10, 2023

    The Atlanta Fed's sticky-price consumer price index (CPI)—a weighted basket of items that change price relatively slowly—increased 4.7 percent (on an annualized basis) in April and following a 4.7 percent increase in March. On a year-over-year basis, the series is up 6.5 percent.

    On a core basis (excluding food and energy), the sticky-price index increased 4.7 percent (annualized) in April and its 12-month percent change was 6.3 percent.

    The flexible cut of the CPI—a weighted basket of items that change price relatively frequently—increased 4.5 percent (annualized) in April and is up 1.9 percent on a year-over-year basis.
