US Inflation Holds Steady at 2.7% in December

The latest report shows that US inflation stayed the same in December 2025, at 2.7% compared to the previous year.

This means prices are still going up, but not as fast as they were a few years ago.

The core inflation rate, which doesn't include food and energy prices, also stayed at 2.6%.

The Federal Reserve, which controls interest rates, is being careful about cutting rates because they want to make sure inflation keeps going down.

Meanwhile, the World Bank says the global economy is doing better than expected, but many developing countries are still struggling.

They warn that a lot of young people will be looking for jobs in the next decade, and countries need to make sure there are enough jobs for everyone.
