BusinessUS Inflation Hits 3.8 Percent in April, Highest in Nearly Three Years
US consumer prices rose 3.8 percent year-on-year in April, the highest level since May 2023, driven largely by surging energy costs linked to tensions in the Middle East. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged amid the elevated inflation.
U.S. inflation rate rose to 3.8% in April, the highest level since May 2023. Gasoline prices climbed 28.4% year-over-year, a major driver of overall inflation. Food and airline ticket prices also showed noticeable increases. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East reduced oil supplies, pushing up energy costs. The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged at its latest meeting. Economists believe high inflation makes rate cuts less likely in coming months.
