US inflation growth slows in August

The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index in the United States increased less than expected in August, rising by 0.3% on a monthly basis, with the 12-month inflation rate reaching 3.4%. Excluding food and energy, the core index increased by 0.2%, maintaining an annual rate of 3%, which is lower than the forecasts of 0.3% and 3.3%. This comes amid a change by the Bureau of Economic Analysis in how some components of the index are calculated, which could affect the final figures. The Federal Reserve considers this a better measure of long-term inflation trends.
