The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2

percent in September on a seasonally adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau

of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all

items index increased 1.2 percent before seasonal adjustment.

 

The energy index rose 0.8 percent in September and accounted for about

half of the seasonally adjusted all items increase. All the major

energy component indexes rose in September. The food index was

unchanged, with declines in the indexes for fruits and vegetables and

for nonalcoholic beverages offsetting increases in other indexes.

 

The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.1 percent in

September, the same increase as in August. The shelter and medical

care indexes also advanced and accounted for most of this increase.

The indexes for new vehicles and for airline fares rose as well, while

the apparel and recreation indexes declined.

 

The all items index increased 1.2 percent over the last 12 months;

this was the smallest 12-month increase since April. The index for all

items less food and energy has risen 1.7 percent over the last year

with the shelter and medical care indexes both up 2.4 percent. The

food index has risen 1.4 percent, while the energy index has declined

3.1 percent.
