CPI (Inflation) for August comes in lower than expected.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/stock-market-news-live-updates-september-14-2021-115039142-222854952.html"The core measure of CPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, slowed more than expected to come in at 4.0% year-over-year in August after growing by 4.3% in July. Consensus economists were looking for CPI, excluding food and energy prices, to rise by 4.2%. "
Inflation is leveling off, most of the reported inflation was due to prices being compared to unusual 2020 months that were skewed due to Covid. We actually had deflation for a few months in 2020. Experts expected it to level off, but this beat those expectations.
