Economic Buzz: US consumer prices rise 0.2% in April


Consumer prices in the U.S. rose by slightly less than expected in the month of April, according to a report released by the Labor Department on Tuesday.

The Labor Department said its consumer price index inched up by 0.2 percent in April after edging down by 0.1 percent in March.

The report said shelter costs rose by 0.3 percent in April following a 0.2 percent uptick in March, accounting for more than half of the monthly increase by the consumer price index.

Energy prices also climbed by 0.7 percent in April after plunging by 2.4 percent in March, as higher prices for natural gas and electricity index more than offset a dip in prices for gasoline.

Meanwhile the report said food prices slipped by 0.1 percent in April after rising by 0.2 percent in March, with a decrease in prices for food at home offsetting an increase in prices for food away from home.

Excluding food and energy prices, consumer prices still rose by 0.2 percent in April after creeping up by 0.1 percent in March.

The uptick by core consumer prices reflected the higher shelter costs as well as higher prices for household furnishings and operations, medical care, motor vehicle insurance, education, and personal care.

On the other hand, the Labor Department said prices for airline fares, used cars and trucks, communication, and apparel were among those that decreased in April.

The report also said the annual rate of growth by consumer prices slowed to 2.3 percent in April from 2.4 percent in March.

The annual rate of growth by core consumer prices was unchanged from the previous month at 2.8 percent.
