In September, the Consumer Price Index, the government’s main gauge of inflation at the retail level, increased by 3.9 percent over the previous year. Higher food and energy prices were once again the main culprits, with food prices up 4.7 percent year over year and energy prices up 19.3 percent.
Even core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, increased by 2%, putting it at the upper end of the range considered acceptable by the Federal Reserve.
