This particular Bond yields current inflation levels: "How is the interest rate of an I bond determined? The interest rate combines two separate rates: A fixed rate of return, which remains the same throughout the life of the I bond. A variable semiannual inflation rate based on changes in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The Bureau of the Fiscal Service announces the rates each May and November. The semiannual inflation rate announced in May is the change between the CPI-U figures from the preceding September and March; the inflation rate announced in November is the change between the CPI-U figures from the preceding March and September." So its fairly safe to assume that current inflation levels are indeed 7%.
