Key drivers

  • Recent OER monthly growth slowed to 0.24% in June after a 0.53% April spike and 0.30% May reading
  • June CPI release said shelter rose only 0.1% while OER rose 0.2%, favoring a below-early-2026 pace
  • OER is a large and lagged shelter component, so month-to-month volatility is usually limited versus energy or goods
  • First-print target is seasonally adjusted CPI-U series CUSR0000SEHC, not NSA shelter or rent of primary residence

Resolution

source
ALFRED/FRED first-vintage capture of originating BLS CPI-U series CUSR0000SEHC
expected
August 12, 2026
rule
Resolve to the first-print July 2026 seasonally adjusted CPI-U Owners' equivalent rent of residences index for U.S. city average, series CUSR0000SEHC, as captured by the ledger's ALFRED first-print source binding after the BLS Consumer Price Index release on August 12, 2026. Compute percent_growth as (July 2026 index / June 2026 index - 1) * 100 using the first published index values, rounded to two decimals for this forecast cell; ignore later revisions, annual seasonal-adjustment revisions, and non-first-vintage backfills.
