Shelter CPI has now moved down from a peak of 8.2% in March 2023 (highest since 1982) to 4.2% today (lowest since December 2021). Given its long lag vs. real-time rental data, a continued move lower is expected which should lead to a continued decline in core inflation.

2/ Housing costs are finally easing… kinda.
Shelter inflation rose 4.2% YoY, the smallest increase in 3+ years. But housing still makes up 50% of the monthly CPI gain, so it’s not out of the woods yet.
