The CPI-U value for August increased to 226.545. The August value represents a 1.38% increase since March’s value of 223.467. With one month remaining before the November I Bond inflation-linked rate is known, it seems inflation is under control. With no increase in September and a fixed rate on 0%, an I Bond would offer a 2.76% composite rate. The full range of possible rates will be known in mid-October.
