CPI Detailed Report-May 2010

CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
MAY 2010
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) declined 0.2 percent in May on a seasonally adjusted basis, the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the index increased 2.0 percent before seasonal
adjustment.
For the second month in a row a decline in the energy index accounted for the seasonally adjusted decrease in the all items
index.
The index for energy decreased 2.9 percent in May and more than offset a slight increase in the index for all items less food
and energy. The food index was unchanged. Within the energy component, the gasoline index accounted for most of the decrease,
although all the major energy indexes declined.
The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.1 percent in May, posting a monthly increase for only the second time
this year. Contributing to the May rise were increases in a number of indexes including shelter, used cars and trucks, tobacco,
apparel, and medical care. The index has increased 0.9 percent over the last 12 months.

6 Indexes on a November 1996=100 base.
- Data not available.
NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each
local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore,
subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a
result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index,
although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI
for use in their escalator clauses.
NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.

5 In addition, the following metropolitan areas are published semiannually
and appear in Tables 34 and 39 of the January and July issues of the CPI
Detailed Report: Anchorage, AK; Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN;
Denver-Boulder-Greeley, CO; Honolulu, HI; Kansas City, MO-KS;

Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL.
6 Indexes on a November 1996=100 base.
- Data not available.
NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each
local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore,
subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a
result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index,
although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI
for use in their escalator clauses.
NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.
