Significats de overall cpi en anglès

Yet the overall CPI index would have risen, despite the generous retail discounts, had oil prices not fallen during July.

The drop in the overall CPI reflected a 1.8 per cent slide in energy costs.

Energy prices rose only 0.2 percent last month as household gas tumbled, helping to hold back overall CPI.

What's more, the overall CPI has risen 40% faster than the cost of groceries since 1965.

But a decline in energy prices held back the increase in the overall CPI to 0.1% last month.

Core-core CPI was up 0.4 percent in May from a year earlier, while the overall CPI was up 0.5 percent.

But the overall CPI edged up 0.1% last month, held back by cheaper gasoline and food, matching May's rise.

In the 12 months to August, the overall CPI rose 1.1 percent, a touch less than the 1.2 percent increase through July.

Economists polled by Reuters expect both the overall CPI and the core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, to rise 0.2 percent.

That could see the overall CPI jump by perhaps 1.6 percent between the December and March quarters, matching the banana-driven spike seen in 2006.

While core inflation pushed higher in January, falling gasoline prices restrained the overall CPI, which nudged up 0.1% after increasing 0.2% for three straight months.
