Key Facts
The print. US consumer prices rose 0.4 per cent month-on-month in August and 3.4 per cent year-on-year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported at 8:30 on Friday — headline figures matching what forecasters had pencilled in.
The nuance. Core inflation, excluding food and energy, rose 0.3 per cent on the month against a 0.2 per cent consensus expectation, though its yearly rate cooled to 2.4 per cent from 2.5 per cent — in line, but warmer underneath than the headline admits.
