📊 The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.9% year-over-year in May, up from a 2.7% gain in April. 🛒 Food prices purchased from stores saw a 1.5% year-over-year increase in May, a slight rise from April's 1.4%. Though minor, this marks the first acceleration since June 2023. Grocery prices remain elevated, having increased by 22.5% compared to May 2020: https://lnkd.in/gipFKcQ2 🔧 The main driver for the acceleration in the headline CPI was higher prices for services, which rose 4.6% in May following a 4.2% increase in April. The faster price growth for services was led by cellular services, travel tours, rent, and air transportation.
