ÍNDICE DE PRECIOS AL CONSUMO - SEPTIEMBRE DE 2026

El índice de precios al consumo para todos los consumidores urbanos (CPI-U) subió un 0.6 por ciento, desestacionalizado, en 
septiembre, tras subir un 0.4 por ciento en agosto, informó hoy la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales de EE. UU. (BLS). En los últimos 12 
meses, el índice general subió un 3.7 por ciento antes de la desestacionalización.

El índice de la gasolina subió un 9.1 por ciento en septiembre, lo que representa más de la mitad del aumento mensual del índice general. El 
índice de la energía subió un 5.2 por ciento en el mes, tras un aumento del 2.1 por ciento en agosto. El índice de la vivienda subió un 0.4 
por ciento en septiembre, tras subir un 0.3 por ciento en agosto. El índice de los alimentos se mantuvo sin cambios en septiembre, ya que el índice de 
alimentos fuera del hogar subió un 0.2 por ciento y el índice de alimentos en el hogar bajó un 0.1 por ciento. 

El índice general excluidos alimentos y energía subió un 0.3 por ciento en septiembre, igual que en agosto. Entre los índices que subieron 
en el mes figuran el ocio, los automóviles y camiones usados, la educación, las tarifas aéreas, la atención médica y el vestido. Por el contrario, 
el índice de las comunicaciones estuvo entre el reducido número de índices principales que bajaron en septiembre.

El índice general subió un 3.7 por ciento en los 12 meses finalizados en septiembre, un aumento mayor que el del 3.4 por ciento 
registrado en los 12 meses finalizados en agosto. El índice general excluidos alimentos y energía subió un 2.6 por ciento interanual, 
tras un aumento del 2.4 por ciento en los 12 meses finalizados en agosto. El índice de la energía subió un 20.4 por ciento en los 12 
meses finalizados en septiembre. El índice de los alimentos subió un 2.5 por ciento en el último año.

Nota técnica

Breve explicación del IPC
El índice de precios al consumo (IPC) mide la variación de los precios que pagan los consumidores por bienes y servicios. El IPC refleja
los patrones de gasto de cada uno de dos grupos de población: todos los consumidores urbanos y los asalariados urbanos y trabajadores administrativos.
El grupo de todos los consumidores urbanos representa más del 90 por ciento de la población total de EE. UU. Se basa en los gastos
de casi todos los residentes de áreas urbanas o metropolitanas, incluidos los profesionales, los trabajadores autónomos, las personas pobres,
los desempleados y los jubilados, así como los asalariados urbanos y los trabajadores administrativos. No se incluyen en el IPC
los patrones de gasto de las personas que viven en áreas rurales no metropolitanas, las familias agricultoras, las personas de las Fuerzas Armadas y
las que viven en instituciones, como prisiones y hospitales psiquiátricos. La inflación al consumo para todos los consumidores urbanos se mide mediante
dos índices, a saber, el índice de precios al consumo para todos los consumidores urbanos (CPI-U) y el índice de precios al consumo encadenado para
todos los consumidores urbanos (C-CPI-U). 

El índice de precios al consumo para asalariados urbanos y trabajadores administrativos (CPI-W) se basa en los gastos de los hogares
incluidos en la definición del CPI-U que cumplen dos requisitos: más de la mitad de los ingresos del hogar deben proceder
de ocupaciones administrativas o asalariadas, y al menos uno de los perceptores de ingresos del hogar debe haber estado empleado durante al menos 37
semanas en los 12 meses anteriores. La población del CPI-W representa aproximadamente el 30 por ciento de la población total de EE. UU.
y es un subconjunto de la población del CPI-U.

Los IPC se basan en los precios de alimentos, ropa, vivienda, combustibles, transporte, servicios de médicos y dentistas, medicamentos
y otros bienes y servicios que la gente compra para la vida cotidiana. Los precios se recogen cada mes en 75 áreas urbanas
de todo el país, en unas 6,000 unidades de vivienda y aproximadamente 22,000 establecimientos minoristas (grandes almacenes,
supermercados, hospitales y otros tipos de comercios y establecimientos de servicios). Todos los impuestos directamente asociados a la
compra y el uso de los artículos se incluyen en el índice. Los precios de los combustibles y de algunos otros artículos se obtienen cada mes en
las 75 localidades. Los precios de la mayoría de los demás productos y servicios se recogen cada mes en las tres mayores
áreas geográficas y cada dos meses en las demás áreas. Los precios de la mayoría de los bienes y servicios se obtienen mediante visita
personal, llamada telefónica, recogida por web o por aplicación, a cargo de los representantes capacitados de la Oficina.

Al calcular el índice, las variaciones de precios de los distintos artículos en cada localidad se agregan utilizando ponderaciones, que
representan su importancia en el gasto del grupo de población correspondiente. Los datos locales se combinan después para obtener
un promedio de ciudades de EE. UU. Para el CPI-U y el CPI-W también se publican índices separados por tamaño de ciudad, por región del
país, para clasificaciones cruzadas de regiones y clases de tamaño de población, y para 23 áreas locales seleccionadas. Los índices
por área no miden las diferencias en el nivel de precios entre ciudades; solo miden la variación media de los precios
de cada área desde el periodo base. Para el C-CPI-U, los datos se publican solo a nivel nacional. El CPI-U y el CPI-W
se consideran definitivos al publicarse, pero el C-CPI-U se publica en forma preliminar y está sujeto a tres revisiones
trimestrales posteriores. 

El índice mide la variación de los precios desde una fecha de referencia establecida. Para la mayor parte del CPI-U y del CPI-W, la base de referencia
es 1982-84 igual a 100. La base de referencia del C-CPI-U es diciembre de 1999 igual a 100. Un aumento del 7 por ciento respecto a
la base de referencia, por ejemplo, se muestra como 107.000. Alternativamente, esa relación también puede expresarse como el
precio de una cesta de bienes y servicios del periodo base que sube de $100 a $107. 

Error de muestreo en el IPC

El IPC es una estimación estadística sujeta a error de muestreo porque se basa en una muestra de precios minoristas
y no en el universo completo de todos los precios. La BLS calcula y publica anualmente estimaciones de los errores estándar de la variación porcentual a 1 mes, 2 meses, 6 meses
y 12 meses para el CPI-U. Estas estimaciones del error estándar pueden utilizarse para
construir intervalos de confianza para el contraste de hipótesis. Por ejemplo, el error estándar estimado de la variación porcentual
a 1 mes es del 0.04 por ciento para el IPC general de EE. UU. Esto significa que si muestreamos repetidamente del universo de todos los
precios minoristas utilizando la misma metodología, y estimamos una variación porcentual para cada muestra, entonces el 95 por ciento de estas
estimaciones estarán dentro del 0.08 por ciento de la variación porcentual a 1 mes basada en todos los precios minoristas. Por ejemplo, para una
variación a 1 mes del 0.2 por ciento del CPI-U general, tenemos una confianza del 95 por ciento de que la variación porcentual real basada
en todos los precios minoristas se situaría entre el 0.12 y el 0.28 por ciento. Para los datos más recientes, incluida información sobre cómo utilizar
las estimaciones del error estándar, véase www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/variance-estimates/home.htm. 

Cálculo de las variaciones del índice

Los movimientos de los índices de un mes a otro suelen expresarse como variaciones porcentuales y no como variaciones en puntos
del índice, porque las variaciones en puntos del índice se ven afectadas por el nivel del índice en relación con su periodo base, mientras que
las variaciones porcentuales no. La siguiente tabla muestra un ejemplo de uso de los valores del índice para calcular variaciones porcentuales:

                            Artículo A              Artículo B                  Artículo C
Año I                       112.500                 225.000                     110.000
Año II                      121.500                 243.000                     128.000
Variación en puntos del índice 9.000                18.000                      18.000
Variación porcentual        9.0/112.500 x 100 = 8.0  18.0/225.000 x 100 = 8.0   18.0/110.000 x 100 = 16.4

Uso de datos desestacionalizados y sin desestacionalizar

El programa del índice de precios al consumo (IPC) produce datos tanto sin desestacionalizar como desestacionalizados. Los datos desestacionalizados
se calculan utilizando factores estacionales derivados del método de desestacionalización X-13ARIMA-SEATS. Estos factores se
actualizan cada febrero, y los nuevos factores se utilizan para revisar los 5 años anteriores de datos desestacionalizados. Los
factores están disponibles en www.bls.gov/web/cpi/cpi-seasonal-factors.xlsx. Para más información sobre el calendario de revisión
de datos, consulte la página de preguntas y respuestas sobre desestacionalización en
www.bls.gov/cpi/seasonal-adjustment/questions-and-answers.htm y la cronología de cambios metodológicos de la desestacionalización
en www.bls.gov/cpi/seasonal-adjustment/timeline-seasonal-adjustment-methodology-changes.htm. 

Cómo utilizar los datos desestacionalizados y sin desestacionalizar

Para analizar las tendencias de precios a corto plazo en la economía, suelen preferirse las variaciones desestacionalizadas, ya que
eliminan el efecto de los cambios que normalmente se producen en la misma época y con aproximadamente la misma magnitud cada año, como
los movimientos de precios derivados de fenómenos meteorológicos, ciclos de producción, cambios de modelo, festividades y rebajas. Esto permite
a los usuarios de los datos centrarse en los cambios que no son típicos de la época del año. 

Los datos sin desestacionalizar son de interés principal para los consumidores preocupados por los precios que realmente pagan. Los datos sin desestacionalizar
también se utilizan ampliamente con fines de indexación. Muchos convenios colectivos y planes de pensiones,
por ejemplo, vinculan los cambios de la remuneración al índice de precios al consumo antes del ajuste por variación estacional. La BLS desaconseja
el uso de datos desestacionalizados en acuerdos de indexación porque las series desestacionalizadas se revisan
anualmente durante cinco años.

Análisis de intervención

La Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales utiliza la desestacionalización con análisis de intervención (IASA) para algunas series del IPC. A veces,
los valores extremos o los movimientos bruscos pueden distorsionar el patrón estacional subyacente de la variación de precios. La desestacionalización
con análisis de intervención es un proceso mediante el cual las distorsiones causadas por tales acontecimientos inusuales se estiman y eliminan de
los datos antes del cálculo de los factores estacionales. Los factores estacionales resultantes, que representan con mayor precisión
el patrón estacional, se aplican después a los datos sin desestacionalizar.

Por ejemplo, este procedimiento se utilizó para la serie de combustibles para automoción con el fin de compensar los efectos del retorno en 2009 a precios
normales tras la recesión económica mundial de 2008. Conservar estos datos atípicos durante el cálculo de los factores estacionales
distorsionaría el cálculo de la parte estacional de la serie temporal de combustibles para automoción, por lo que se estimó y
eliminó de los datos antes de la desestacionalización. A continuación, se calcularon los factores estacionales a partir de estos
datos "ajustados previamente". Estos factores estacionales representan una imagen más clara del patrón estacional de los datos. El último
paso consiste en aplicar los factores estacionales de los combustibles para automoción a los datos sin desestacionalizar.

Para los factores estacionales introducidos para enero de 2026, la BLS ajustó 57 series mediante desestacionalización con análisis de
intervención, incluidos determinados artículos de alimentos y bebidas, combustibles para automoción y vehículos.

Revisión de los índices desestacionalizados

Los datos desestacionalizados, incluidos los niveles del índice general del promedio de ciudades de EE. UU., están sujetos a revisión durante un máximo de 5
años después de su publicación original. Cada año, los economistas del IPC calculan nuevos factores estacionales para las series
desestacionalizadas y los aplican a los últimos 5 años de datos. Los índices desestacionalizados anteriores a los últimos 5 años de
datos se consideran definitivos y no están sujetos a revisión. Para enero de 2026, se calcularon y publicaron factores estacionales revisados e índices
desestacionalizados para 2021 a 2025. Para las series que se ajustan directamente mediante el
programa de desestacionalización Census X-13ARIMA-SEATS, los factores estacionales de 2025 se aplicarán a los datos de 2026 para
producir los índices desestacionalizados de 2026. Las series que se desestacionalizan indirectamente sumando series componentes
desestacionalizadas tienen factores estacionales derivados y, por tanto, no están disponibles por adelantado.

Determinación del estado estacional

Cada año se reevalúa el estado estacional de cada serie con arreglo a determinados criterios estadísticos. Utilizando estos
criterios, los economistas de la BLS determinan si una serie debe cambiar su estado de "sin desestacionalizar" a
"desestacionalizada", o viceversa. Si alguno de los 81 componentes del índice general del promedio de ciudades de EE. UU. cambia
su estado de desestacionalización de desestacionalizado a sin desestacionalizar, los datos sin desestacionalizar
se utilizarán en la agregación de las series dependientes para los últimos 5 años, pero los índices desestacionalizados
anteriores a ese periodo no se modificarán. Para 2026, 36 de los 81 componentes del índice general del promedio de ciudades de EE. UU.
no están desestacionalizados.

Footnotes (1) Foods, fuels, and several other items are priced every month in all areas. Most other goods and services are priced as indicated: M - Every month. 1 - January, March, May, July, September, and November. 2 - February, April, June, August, October, and December. (2) Regions defined as the four Census regions. (3) Indexes on a December 1996=100 base. (4) Indexes on a December 2017=100 base. (5) Indexes on a December 1986=100 base. (6) 1998 - 2017 indexes based on substantially smaller sample. (7) Indexes on a December 2001=100 base. (8) Indexes on a 1987=100 base.
NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses.

Footnotes (1) The C-CPI-U is designed to be a closer approximation to a cost-of-living index in that it, in its final form, accounts for any substitution that consumers make across item categories in response to changes in relative prices. Since the expenditure data required for the calculation of the C-CPI-U are available only with a time lag, the C-CPI-U is issued first in preliminary form using the latest available expenditure data at that time and is subject to four revisions.
Indexes are issued as initial estimates. Indexes are revised each quarter with the publication of January, April, July, and October data as updated expenditure estimates become available. The C-CPI-U indexes are updated quarterly until they become final. January-March indexes are final in January of the following year; April-June indexes are final in April of the following year; July-September indexes are final in July of the following year; October-December indexes are final in October of the following year.

Footnotes (1) The 'effect' of an item category is a measure of that item's contribution to the All items price change. For example, if the Food index had an effect of 0.40, and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40 / 1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase. Said another way, had food prices been unchanged for that month the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8 percent. Effects can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items index actually would have been 0.1 percent higher (or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were rising, the contribution of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 / 0.5, or minus 20 percent). (2) A statistic's margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 0.6 percent, and its standard error was 0.15 percent, the margin of error on this item's 1-month percent change would be 0.6 percent, plus or minus 0.3 percent. (3) If the current seasonally adjusted 1-month percent change is greater than the previous published 1-month percent change, then this column identifies the closest prior month with a 1-month percent change as (L)arge as or (L)arger than the current 1-month change. If the current 1-month percent change is smaller than the previous published 1-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or (S)maller than the current month change is identified. If the current and previous published 1-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard numerical comparisons are used. For example, 0.8% is greater than 0.6%, -0.4% is less than -0.2%, and -0.2% is less than 0.0%. Note that a (L)arger change can be a smaller decline, for example, a -0.2% change is larger than a -0.4% change, but still represents a decline in the price index. Likewise, (S)maller changes can be increases, for example, a 0.6% change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price index. In this context, a -0.2% change is considered to be smaller than a 0.0% change. (4) Not seasonally adjusted. (5) Indexes on a December 1997=100 base. (6) Special indexes based on a substantially smaller sample. These series do not contribute to the all items index aggregation and therefore do not have a relative importance or effect.

Footnotes (1) The 'effect' of an item category is a measure of that item's contribution to the All items price change. For example, if the Food index had an effect of 0.40, and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40 / 1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase. Said another way, had food prices been unchanged for that year the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8 percent. Effects can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items index actually would have been 0.1 percent higher (or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were rising, the contribution of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 / 0.5, or minus 20 percent). (2) A statistic's margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 2.6 percent, and its standard error was 0.25 percent, the margin of error on this item's 12-month percent change would be 2.6 percent, plus or minus 0.5 percent. (3) If the current 12-month percent change is greater than the previous published 12-month percent change, then this column identifies the closest prior month with a 12-month percent change as (L)arge as or (L)arger than the current 12-month change. If the current 12-month percent change is smaller than the previous published 12-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or (S)maller than the current month change is identified. If the current and previous published 12-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard numerical comparison is used. For example, 2.0% is greater than 0.6%, -4.4% is less than -2.0%, and -2.0% is less than 0.0%. Note that a (L)arger change can be a smaller decline, for example, a -0.2% change is larger than a -0.4% change, but still represents a decline in the price index. Likewise, (S)maller changes can be increases, for example, a 0.6% change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price index. In this context, a -0.2% change is considered to be smaller than a 0.0% change. (4) Indexes on a December 1997=100 base. (5) Special indexes based on a substantially smaller sample.
