> Inflation in the last 6 months in the US, as measured by the Fed’s CPI

There is no such thing as “the Fed’s CPI”.

BLS publishes the CPI, which the Fed does not use.

The Fed uses the PCE, published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

The BLS publishes it, but the Fed looks at it and hosts it on their site in a digestible format: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CPIAUCSL
