For the 12-month period ended in January, the CPI-U increased 3.7 percent.

The January level of 171.7 was 3.7 percent higher than the index in January 2000. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U increased 0.6 percent in January, its largest monthly advance since a 0.6 percent rise in March 2000. The energy index rose 3.9 percent in January, accounting for over one-half of the overall CPI-U increase. The index for energy services rose 7.7 percent, largely as a result of a record monthly increase in the index for utility natural gas--up 17.4 percent. The index for petroleum-based energy was unchanged in January. The food index increased 0.3 percent, following a 0.5 percent rise in December. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.3 percent in January, following an increase of 0.1 percent in December. A larger increase in shelter costs and an upturn in the price of cigarettes were the principal factors accounting for the acceleration in January.
