Welcome to Investopedia’s live coverage of the February Consumer Price Index. Here, we will bring you the latest inflation market data, explain its implications, and provide in-depth analysis.

Inflation remained steady in February, in line with economists’ expectations.

The report would normally reassure investors and policymakers at the Federal Reserve that inflation isn’t worsening, even if it’s still not cooling to the Fed’s 2% annual target. However, the data indicate less than usual about the trajectory of inflation because of the spike in gasoline and diesel prices in early March, driven by the Iran war.

The report was released 8:30 a.m. ET.
