Key drivers

  • Latest rounded BLS table shows primary rent slowing to 0.1 percent SA MoM in June after 0.4 in May and 0.5 in April
  • Exact index-derived June growth was 0.1495 percent, below the recent valid-change mean of 0.2674 percent
  • Rent inflation is sticky and lagged, so one low month should pull the forecast down but not to zero
  • Recent dispersion from valid one-month changes supports an 80 percent band of about plus or minus 0.13 percentage point

Resolution

source
ALFRED/FRED first-vintage record for BLS CPI series CUSR0000SEHA
expected
August 12, 2026
rule
Resolve using the ledger-bound ALFRED/FRED first-vintage record for BLS CPI-U rent of primary residence, U.S. city average, seasonally adjusted series CUSR0000SEHA. Compute percent growth as 100*(July 2026 first-vintage index / June 2026 first-vintage index - 1), in percentage points. The underlying official statistic is the first BLS CPI print; do not use later revisions or same-day correction grace unless the published first-vintage record itself is replaced under the target policy.
