⬤ Truflation's latest reading puts US inflation at 2.37% as of November 23, 2025. The independent tracking system shows a notably lower figure than the Bureau of Labor Statistics' official CPI, which currently stands at 3.00%. Using daily updates pulled from real-time market data, Truflation calculates year-over-year inflation in a way that differs sharply from traditional government measurements.
⬤ Looking at the year's trajectory, inflation hit a low of roughly 1.22% before climbing through the second half of 2025. The index pushed above 2.8% in early November before easing back. The current 2.37% marks a small daily drop of 0.03 points. Throughout the year, the measure peaked at 3.04% and bottomed out near the 1% mark.
The independent index positions inflation noticeably below the Bureau of Labor Statistics' official CPI figure.
⬤ What sets Truflation apart is its market-based approach rather than the government's structured weighting system. The platform claims this method captures price movements as they happen, offering what supporters view as a sharper picture of actual costs. While the dashboard breaks down categories like goods, services, core, and PCE, the main headline number remains the focal point—especially when it runs below official benchmarks.
⬤ The gap between Truflation and CPI readings carries weight for anyone watching monetary policy or market direction. When real-time data suggests cooler inflation than official reports, it can shift expectations around interest rates and economic growth. That divergence matters to traders, policymakers, and everyday consumers trying to make sense of where prices are actually headed.
