What it is made of

Alongside it

Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, CPI for All Urban Consumers, U.S. city average (series CUUR0000SEFR and CUSR0000SEFR). BLS did not collect October 2025 prices, so changes spanning that month are blank. Shown for context: consumer prices do not feed CycleWatch's recession model.
