Consumer prices in the U.S. rose in line with economist estimates in the month of September, according to a report released by the Labor Department on Wednesday.
The Labor Department said its consumer price index rose by 0.2 percent in September after inching up by 0.1 percent in August. The modest price growth matched economist estimates.
The core consumer price index, which excludes food and energy prices, edged up by 0.1 percent for the second consecutive month. Economists had expected core prices to rise by 0.2 percent.
