3 CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS FEBRUARY The Consumer Price for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) declined 0.2 percent in February on a seasonally adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 1.0 percent before seasonal adjustment. The energy index continued to decrease and was the major cause of the seasonally adjusted decline in the all items index, more than offsetting increases in the indexes for food and for all items less food and energy. The gasoline index fell sharply, declining 13.0 percent, and the indexes for fuel oil and electricity also decreased, though the index for natural gas rose. The food index increased 0.2 percent in February, as the food at home index rose for the first time since September. Major grocery store food group indexes were mixed. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.3 percent. Increases in the indexes for shelter, apparel, and medical care were the largest contributors to the rise, but almost all major components increased in February. The all items index rose 1.0 percent over the last 12 months, a smaller increase than the 1.4-percent change for the 12 months ending January. The energy index fell 12.5 percent over the past year, with all of its major components declining. The food index advanced 0.9 percent, with the index for food at home declining but the food away from home index rising. The index for all items less food and energy rose 2.3 percent, its largest 12-month increase since May Consumer Price Data for February Food The food index increased 0.2 percent in February after being unchanged in January. The food at home index turned up in February, rising 0.2 percent after declining in recent months. The index for fruits and vegetables rose for the second month in a row, increasing 0.8 percent. The index for fresh fruits rose 2.3 percent, while the fresh vegetables index declined 0.4 percent. The index for nonalcoholic beverages rose 0.6 percent in February, its largest increase since November The index for cereals and bakery products also increased in February, rising 0.2 percent. In contrast to these increases, the indexes for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs and for other food at home both declined slightly in February, each falling 0.1 percent, while the index for dairy and related products was unchanged.

The fuel oil index also continued to decline, falling 2.9 percent after a 6.5 percent decrease in January. The electricity index declined slightly in February, falling 0.2 percent.
