US Inflation Climbs to Highest Level in Over Three Years
The latest figures show that inflation has increased for the third month in a row, rising from 3.8% recorded in April 2026.
A breakdown of the data indicates that energy prices experienced the sharpest rise, increasing by 23.5%, while food inflation stood at 3.1%.
On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 0.5% in May, slightly lower than the previous month’s 0.6% increase.
The continued upward trend highlights persistent price pressures across key sectors of the US economy, particularly in energy markets, which remain the primary driver of inflation growth.
