CNN: US inflation heats up to 3% for first time since June [View all]

It’s not just eggs.

Many commonly purchased goods and services got more expensive in January, driving inflation in the wrong direction and to its highest rate since June of last year.

Consumer prices rose 0.5% from December — the fastest pace since September 2023 — resulting in an annual inflation rate of 3% for the 12 months that ended in January, according to the latest Consumer Price Index data released Wednesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

I dunno when you start a tariff war, prices rise. Opportunists will take advantage of it as well. Been trying to tell President Stupid this, but you cannot teach things to stupid. If you could, stupid wouldn't exist.
