What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

Annual inflation reached 3.7% in September, rising from 3.4% the previous month, according to the Consumer Price Index released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Core inflation was 2.6% year-over-year. The high cost of living is attributed to the US-Israeli war with Iran, which boosted oil prices, combined with import tariffs implemented by Donald Trump.
