Sept 11 (Reuters) - The main U.S. stock indexes rose on Friday, putting them on track to end a rough week on a positive note, even as data showed consumer prices accelerated in August.
The Consumer Price Index increased 0.4% last month after edging up 0.1% in July, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said. In the 12 months through August, consumer inflation advanced 3.4%, after rising by the same margin in July.
"Those numbers are still stubborn. This to me is an in-line print that will probably not satisfy anybody, whether you're bullish or bearish," said Joe Saluzzi, co-founder and co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading.
