# Core CPI (ex Food & Energy): release dates, results and history


    Core CPI (ex Food & Energy) last printed 0.30% on Fri, Sep 11, 2026 against a 0.20% consensus forecast and a 0.20% prior, a +1.67 standard-deviation surprise. The next release is Wednesday, October 14, 2026 at 8:30 AM ET. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.

    Food and energy swing around more than anything else in the index, so core CPI throws both out and what is left reads the underlying trend more cleanly. The Fed and the rates desks watch the monthly core print more closely than the headline. A run of 0.3s instead of 0.2s, and the cuts that were priced in come back out.

      The official published series at its current vintage, revisions included, so the newest point can differ from the number as first printed. The release-by-release history, with the consensus forecast and standard-deviation surprise on every row, comes through the [Helious API](https://helious.io/developers/).





## How it moves Treasuries

    On an inflation print a beat means hotter than consensus, and hotter is bearish for Treasuries. The move lands hardest in the belly, the middle of the curve, as the market reprices the Fed path. Miss to the downside and bonds rally fast, especially when cuts are live. See it scored live on the [Helious desk](https://helious.io/),
