Chart visual description: All data monthly. Left y-axis is labeled Gasoline ($/gallon) and ranges from $0 to $6. X-axis spans dates from December 2006 through December 2022, with labels at 6-month increments, thus alternating June to December. Right y-axis is labeled CPI Month/Month and spans -2.0% to +1.5%, with 0.5% increments. X-axis crosses 0 for gasoline price y-axis and -2.0% for CPI y-axis. Slate line plots Gasoline Price; dark teal line plots CPI M/M. Green dotted arrows highlight Strong Positive Correlation over several periods. Chart data description: For period shown, gasoline prices peaked in June of 2022 at $4.93 per gallon. The next most recent peak outside 2022 was in April 2012 at $3.90 and the next closest peak was in July 2008 at $4.06. Prices have generally increased since 2020, though between June and December this year they have receded. Month-over-month CPI generally has hovered between -0.5% and +0.5% but the two tend to move similarly amid more intense economic turbulence. Chart source: Bloomberg, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis as of December 31, 2022. End chart description. See disclosures at end of document.
