BOTTOM LINE: The above chart shows the year-over-year change in the Core Consumer Price Index(the red line) for the last 20 years. While current prices are rising, they are well within the 20-year downtrend in their rate of change. The latest CPI report showed core prices rising at a 1.6% annual rate. This is not a rate to be overly concerned about at the present time.
