November CPI-U Rate Released

November's CPI-U rate declined again to 212.425 from October's 216.573. This marks the fourth consecutive decline from July's high of 219.964.

It is still too early to guess what the next I Bond rate may be based on the data so far, but if continued decreases in the CPI-U value continue, the inflation portion of the bond could be zero.
