Sources and methodology
Accumulated values use compounding: [product of (1 + rate/100) − 1] × 100. Percentages are not added together. The last 12 months include complete months only. The year and the last month in daily series may be partial.
Each date identifies the reference month, not the publication day. Accumulated values use published monthly changes.
History on this page starts in January 2000.
