Key drivers

  • recent services-ex-shelter trend near 0.27 percent per month before June weakness
  • June one-off drags from motor vehicle insurance and communication likely partially mean-revert
  • core services and shelter cooled in June, limiting upside
  • volatile transportation services and energy services keep the interval wide

rule
Resolve to the July 2026 first official vintage available through the ledger-bound ALFRED-FRED adapter for BLS CPI-U Services Less Rent of Shelter, U.S. city average, seasonally adjusted, series CUSR0000SASL2RS, which mirrors the official BLS series. Compute the month-over-month percent growth from the first-print June 2026 and July 2026 CUSR0000SASL2RS index values as 100*(July index/June index - 1), rounded to two decimals for the forecast cell; do not use later revised vintages.
