today #CPI remained the same but what is it I am explaining in simple terms

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the United States is like a big shopping list that tracks how prices change for everyday things we buy, such as groceries, clothes, rent, and gas. When the #CPI goes up, it means stuff is getting more expensive, and that's called inflation. It's important because it helps the government and economists keep an eye on how prices are changing and make decisions about the economy.
