2. Probably (all 3 inflation reports' graphs, and a table of month-over-month and 3 month average)

All 3 inflation sets of graphs (PPI, PCE, CPI) are at the top of my journal, one right after the other
both regular and core measures

The links to the data are in those posts

NOTE: the PCE graphs are for JANUARY, which is the latest PCE report to date.
The CPI and PPI (wholesale prices) are for February

All of this of course is before the US/Israeli attack on Iran on February 28.

One month increase (month-over-month) (annualized)
. . REGULAR CORE MONTH
PPI 8.5%    6.5% FEB (wholesale prices)
CPI 3.2%    2.6% FEB
PCE 3.3%    4.4% JAN
GOAL 2.0%   2.0%

Average annual increase over last 3 months (annualized):
. . REGULAR CORE MONTH
PPI 6.6%    4.5% FEB (wholesale prices)
CPI 3.0%    3.0% FEB
PCE 3.5%    3.7% JAN
GOAL 2.0%   2.0%

The PPI Core is the regular PPI but without food, energy, and trade services
