Inflation has risen to 3.7% in the year to September, which is a higher-than-expected increase fuelled by petrol prices.<\/p>\n

Vehicle fuel prices jumped by 34.2% over 12 months.<\/p>\n

In September alone, they jumped by 9.1%, accounting for more than half of the increase in inflation, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.<\/p>\n

Overall, energy inflation was up by 20.4% over the year as prices for fuel oil, energy services and electricity climbed. Fuel oil, used in home heating, was up 74.2% over the year.<\/p>\n

Experts said the US Federal Reserve – which sets the country’s interest rate – will be closely watching to see if energy costs begin to affect other areas of the economy, such as food prices, and drive inflation higher. <\/p>\n

At the moment, food inflation remains subdued. It was flat over the month of September, and was 2.5% across the year. <\/p>\n

Core inflation, which strips out food and energy prices, was 2.6%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
