WASHINGTON — U.S. consumer prices rose in April, the Labor Department reported on May 12, marking the largest annual increase in inflation in about three years as energy and food costs climbed. The Consumer Price Index showed monthly underlying inflation acceleration, partly affected by a one-time rent adjustment tied to last year’s federal government shutdown. Washington analysts said this week the data, following a larger-than-expected nonfarm payrolls report last week, strengthen expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged into 2027. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded a 3.8% year-on-year CPI increase and a 17.9% rise in energy prices in April, heightening cost pressures for households and political risks for incumbents.
