A surprising data point from May: Consumer durable prices rose just 0.02%, despite elevated energy costs and broader inflation concerns.

Aggressive Memorial Day promotions played a big role.

OpenBrand’s April CPI data: Costs are rising across durable goods, but promotions are still keeping prices relatively muted in categories like appliances.

The question is how long that holds. https://t.co/mJh4OefL7L

While there has been some speculation that inflation would accelerate more significantly in March due to spiking oil prices, some of the muted rise could have been due to a barrage of discounting events at the
end of the month, led by Amazon.

Target alone doubled discount depth in March. Check out the full report.

The latest OpenBrand CPI shows appliance prices fell -0.25% in February, with 14 of 16 categories declining.

That lines up with our earlier forecast that appliance prices would begin moderating through 2026.

Feb CPI-DPG NowCast shows a slight uptick, led by Home Improvement, Personal Care & Recreation.

@BostonFed @BLS_gov We see this trend in the @OpenBrandAI CPI data. @RB_McLaughlin

[Greg Munves @munves]

Inflation accelerated in January, but less than a typical January.

Durable & personal goods prices rose +0.75% MoM, below the 10 year January average and consistent with normal new year price resets.

Ignoring alternative data sources (which happen to have greater data density and frequency than the traditional sources) makes no sense. The fed doesn’t have enough current pricing data to support their position that inflation is still above their target. @truflation @OpenBrandAI - Two alternative CPI sources with more granular, real-time pricing data are telling a different story.

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

The Fed just announced they are pausing interest rate cuts.

This is absolutely insane.

Inflation is 1.2% right now.

Deflation is the real risk.

Goods prices just fell for the first time in a year — even before Black Friday.

Nov @OpenBrandAI CPI: –0.11%
Early drop: –0.05% pre-BF
Biggest declines: appliances, personal care, recreation

Retailers are discounting earlier than ever — and it’s finally showing up in real-time data.

The OpenBrand CPI NowCast-DPG, with data updated through November 20th. The big takeaway? Significant price growth cooling, with prices up just +0.09% MO

It's clear November is trending cooler, and with Black Friday and Cyber Monday still ahead of us, the month is likely to end on an even cooler note.

@shaunmmaguire The release of account location (and briefly location of account creation) is the latest and prime example of why one should lean more on first party sources for information - ideally ones they can independently verify.

A quick primer on the pitfalls of using receipt-only data to measure market pricing and inflation, and how we designed the OpenBrand CPI to avoid them.

Durable goods prices ticked up +0.32% MoM in the November 10 OpenBrand CPI-Nowcast — modest acceleration, still largely category-driven.

Durable goods prices finally eased up.

OpenBrand CPI for Oct: +0.22% MoM, down from +0.48% in Sept.
Appliances (-0.20%) and personal care (-0.33%) both fell — first declines in months.

Discounts got deeper even as frequency dipped.

[Greg Munves @munves]

We’re seeing clear signs that durable goods inflation is easing.

Our OpenBrand CPI NowCast (through Oct 20) shows price growth cooling across all major categories as tariff effects fade—well before the next BLS CPI.

[Greg Munves @munves]

With the BLS CPI release uncertain due to the government shutdown, timely inflation data matters more than ever.

Inflation is stabilizing, not subsiding. Read the full report.

Worried CPI data won’t drop on time this month?

We’ve got you covered. Our October CPI for Durable and Personal Goods goes live tomorrow at 8am ET.

Real prices, real time.
