The U.S. GDP Price Index remained unchanged at 3.7% in the fourth quarter of 2025, matching the pace recorded in the third quarter of 2025. The data, updated on 20 February 2026, indicate that overall price growth embedded in the economy held steady on a quarter-over-quarter basis.

According to the comparison framework, the “actual” figure reflects the change in prices in the current quarter relative to the previous one, while the “previous” reading measures the third quarter’s change against the second quarter. With both quarters showing a 3.7% increase, the data suggest a consistent inflation backdrop at the whole-economy level, as captured by the GDP Price Index.

This stability may be interpreted by markets as a sign that inflationary pressures are neither accelerating nor easing materially within the broader U.S. economy, reinforcing expectations of a relatively steady price environment heading into 2026.
