US consumer prices rose 0.4% in October
The Consumer Price Index increased 0.4% in October after a 0.6% rise in September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday. Those monthly figures are seasonally adjusted. Prices excluding food and energy rose 0.3%; food rose 0.5%, energy 0.7% and shelter 0.3%. BLS could not publish most year-over-year comparisons because the October 2025 government shutdown had prevented collection of the necessary survey data.
