The statement matches the reported June 2024 CPI-U year-over-year figures, but the provided source does not show or attribute those figures to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, so the claim cannot be verified from the supplied evidence.
Unverified

At a glance
Verified August 31, 2026Key Evidence
Trading Economics’ supplied excerpt does not state the claimed 3.0 percent June 2024 CPI-U increase or the 3.3 percent May increase.
The source does not establish the claim’s attribution to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The supplied source concerns a current inflation-rate page and does not provide the necessary historical BLS evidence for the 2024 comparison.
The reporting
What the Evidence Shows
The only supplied source is Trading Economics’ “United States Inflation Rate” page, whose search-result excerpt discusses current inflation and annual core inflation. It does not provide the June 2024 CPI-U increase of 3.0 percent, the May 2024 increase of 3.3 percent, or a direct citation to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.tradingeconomics.comtradingeconomics.comUnited States Inflation Rate Because the claim specifically attributes the figures to BLS, verification requires the relevant BLS CPI release or historical CPI table.
That primary evidence is not included in the source set. The available result is also temporally unrelated to the June 2024 statement, having been updated five hours before the current analysis date, August 31, 2026. The claim therefore remains unverified on the supplied record, even though its figures are consistent with the commonly reported June 2024 CPI release.
