The Consumer Price Index rose 3.8 percent in April from a year earlier, as increasing energy costs replaced tariffs as the driver of higher prices for Americans.

The data confirmed what most Americans already know: prices for the goods they buy most are still going up, while consumer sentiment keeps falling.

The worst US inflation in years is once again eating away at Americans’ paychecks, as rising gasoline and grocery prices threaten to undermine household spending.

The key measure of US inflation rises its highest level since May 2023 as consumers feel the impact of the Iran war.

U.S. consumer prices climbed sharply again last month as the 10-week war with Iran pushed energy prices higher. The Labor Department's consumer price index rose 3.8% from April 2025, according to data released Tuesday.
