What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Consumer Price Index jumped 3.7% in September, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which was up from 3.4% in August. This increase was driven partly by the energy index, which rose 20.4% annually, and the gasoline index, which jumped 34.2% annually. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, rose 2.6% annually in September, up from 2.4% in August.
