Hey kids, did you know that the prices of things are going up and down, and this affects even things like cryptocurrency (like digital money)? The government recently checked how much things cost in January. It's like taking a snapshot of the economy. This is important because it helps people understand if the economy is doing well or not.
- Prices went up a little, but not as much as some people thought.
- People are still buying things, but maybe not as much because of cold weather or other reasons.
- Some experts think the economy might slow down.
| Thing | Number |

| Price increase in January | 0.3% |
| Yearly price increase | 2.5% |
| 10-year US Treasury yield | 4.256% |
