Cleveland Fed's median CPI rose 0.3 pct in January NEW YORK, Feb 22 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland said on Tuesday its median U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI), a measure of core U.S. inflation, rose by 0.3 percent in January. Core U.S. inflation as measured by the Cleveland Fed gauge rose by 2.3 percent in January, year-over-year. On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said the CPI rose a modest 0.2 percent in January, while the core index also rose by 0.2 percent. Year-over-year, the core CPI rose by 1.9 percent. The median CPI is a core measure of inflation calculated by the Cleveland Fed, based on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) monthly CPI data. Unlike the Labor Department's core CPI, which excludes only food and energy prices, the median CPI trims out any component whose price change markedly departs from the price performance of most items.
