US inflation rose to 3.7% in September, figures show
U.S. consumer prices increased 3.7% year‑over‑year in September, according to the latest official data. The rise marks the final inflation reading before the upcoming midterm elections and follows recent polls indicating broad dissatisfaction with living costs under President Trump’s administration.
