The Cleveland Fed's median CPI is a core measure of inflation calculated by the bank based on U.S. government data. But unlike the Labor Department's core CPI, which automatically excludes food and energy prices every month, the Cleveland Fed median CPI trims out any component whose price change markedly departs from the price performance of most items. Earlier on Friday, the U.S. Labor Department said the Consumer Price Index fell 0.3 percent in October while the core rate increased 0.2 percent. ..." Regards, Don
