Price increases were broad-based last month, driven by energy and services such as health care, shelter and transportation
WASHINGTON—Inflation accelerated in July as an underlying measure of consumer prices posted its strongest two-month gain since early 2006.
The consumer-price index, which measures what Americans pay for items from mutton to motel rooms, rose a seasonally adjusted 0.3% last month from June, the Labor Department said Tuesday. Excluding volatile food and energy, so-called core consumer prices rose 0.3% for a second consecutive month, the strongest two-month gain in more than a decade.
