US consumer price inflation rose to 3.8% year-over-year in April 2026, exceeding the consensus estimate of 3.7%. The April reading increased from March’s 3.3%, marking a 0.5 percentage point acceleration. This uptick reverses the recent trend of easing inflation and pushes the headline CPI further above the 12-month rolling average of 3.66%. Higher shelter and energy costs were the primary drivers of the monthly gain. Compared to April 2025, inflation remains elevated, reflecting persistent price pressures in the US economy. Market participants are watching Federal Reserve communications and upcoming PPI data for further signals on the policy outlook. Updated 5/12/26
