U.S. inflation rises 0.1% in May from prior month, less than expected
Abstract：The consumer price index was expected to rise 0.2% in May, with a 12-month inflation rate of 2.4%.
Consumer prices rose less than expected in May as President Donald Trump's tariffs had yet to show significant impact on inflation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday.
The consumer price index, a broad-based measure of goods and services across the sprawling U.S. economy, increased 0.1% for the month, putting the annual inflation rate at 2.4%. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for respective readings of 0.2% and 2.4%.
