US Core Inflation Surges Past 3%, Eroding Dollar’s Value Further

Core inflation in the United States has surged past 3% as of September 2025, marking a concerning trend for the economy. This increase signals a potential loss of over 25% of the U.S. dollar"s purchasing power over the next decade, compounding the already significant decline of approximately 25% since 2020.

The rise in inflation comes amid ongoing economic uncertainties and pressures on consumer prices. The latest data indicates that core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, has begun to climb again, raising alarms among economists and policymakers alike.

Historically, inflation rates have fluctuated, but the current trajectory suggests that many Americans may face increased costs for everyday goods and services. As previously reported, inflation has been a persistent issue, complicating recovery efforts in the wake of the pandemic and recent geopolitical tensions.

The implications of rising inflation are far-reaching, affecting consumer spending, savings, and investment strategies. Analysts warn that if inflation continues to rise, it could lead to tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve, which may further impact economic growth. In related coverage, recent developments in global markets also reflect heightened economic anxieties that could influence inflationary trends in the U.S.
