Figured I'd update on @truflation which everyone loved when it was (correctly) suggesting inflation much hotter in 2020-2022. They do not seasonally adjust, and they report actual prices without imputation. Remarkably close to CPI in history, and both exceed 1990s darlings like the "Everyday Pricing Index" (which ran hot in the 1990s). CPI will accelerate in the back half of year as tariffs are having an impact and the fixed basket will not adjust. But Truflation suggesting underlying pressures weak.
