Not quite sure what you're referring to.  Reported CPI year over year for July was 2.9%; CPI year over year for August was 2.5%.  That's a fairly low number considering CPI peaked at 9.1% in 2022.  If you feel the numbers aren't to be trusted, that's different and you wouldn't get an argument from me.  But as presented, the August CPI reported a few days ago does not appear to be high.
