BusinessUS April Inflation Expected to Hit 3.7 Percent as Energy Prices Drive Rise
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics released the April Consumer Price Index report on May 12th. Economists forecast the annual inflation rate will reach 3.7 percent.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for April on the morning of May 12th.
Economists forecast that April's inflation rate will rise 3.7% year-on-year and 0.6% month-on-month.
Rising energy prices are a primary factor in this inflation.
Since the Middle East conflict erupted in February this year, oil prices have already risen to their highest level in four years.
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, is expected to rise 2.7% year-on-year.
Analysts state that this report will influence the U.S. Federal Reserve's future interest rate policy decisions.
