通胀达到三年新高，威胁中期选举稳定
Read, Watch or Listen
U.S. inflation accelerated in April, with a key Federal Reserve gauge rising to 3.8%, the highest level since May 2023, the Commerce Department reported on May 28. The annual rate, up from 3.5% in March, and a 0.4% monthly increase underscore broad-based price pressures in groceries, clothing, electricity, and gasoline. The data arrive about five months before the November midterm elections, intensifying scrutiny of economic management. The Conference Board reports weakening consumer confidence despite strong equity markets. Federal Reserve officials and analysts are reassessing prospects for interest rate cuts ahead of the June 16–17 FOMC meeting, where benchmark rates are currently 3.5%–3.75%.
