Creșterea prețurilor de consum din SUA a accelerat în luna august, în contextul scumpirii motorinei. E posibil ca Fed să crească dobânda cheie - Economica.net

In August, the U.S. consumer price index rose by 0.4%, driven by higher diesel costs, influencing market expectations for an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. Core inflation increased by 0.3%, while annual inflation remained at 3.4%. Diesel prices hit a record high, contributing to ongoing inflation concerns. The rising costs are impacting President Trump's popularity and pose challenges for the Republican Party ahead of midterm elections. The White House has limited options to address high prices, and the Fed is closely monitoring inflation data as it aims for a 2% target.
