US consumer prices surge by more-than-expected 0.8 pct in July
WASHINGTON - US consumer prices surged by a more-than-expected 0.8 percent in July compared with the prior month, the Labor Department said Thursday.
Core prices, which strip out energy and food costs, rose 0.3 percent last month, the agency reported.
Most analysts had predicted a gain of 0.4 percent in headline inflation and a 0.2 percent rise in core inflation.
Although headline inflation cooled from a June reading of 1.1 percent, it was higher-than-anticipated as high oil prices continued to buffet the US economy.
Oil prices have, however, declined in recent weeks.
On a 12-month basis, consumer prices rose 5.6 percent in July, marking the biggest annualized gain since January 1991, while the core rate was 2.5 percent higher.
