I have graphs of the CPI and PCE, both the regular and the core measures. Both month to month changes and a 3 month rolling average. So as to see what is happening with RECENT inflation, as opposed to an average of 12 months which I don't give a fig about.

They are seasonally adjusted numbers, by the way (some want to explain it away as just the economy waking up from a slumber in late winter, but no, the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjust for regular seasonal patterns)
