Wrong chart. That's a rolling average of 12 months.

The peak was in June, so it's still dragging the yearly number up. The last 8 months were much lower than the previous several.

Though that chart also shows inflation dropping...

I don't what you are on about. The chart figures I linked is sourced from the monthly CPI rate shared by BLS every month.

You are obviously trolling at this point.

It’s not trolling just because you aren’t understanding what’s being said. Recent MoM figures show inflation is way down, the annualized will follow down shortly.

The main inflation number that everyone talks about compares each month to one year previous.

When inflation changes rapidly, it gives you outdated information.

When you look at the underlying data for each month compared to the previous month, you can see that the spike was higher than 9% and we are currently lower than 6%.
