Estimated U.S. inflation rose to about 4% in the year through October, outpacing average hourly pay growth of roughly 3% and eroding workers’ purchasing power. Airfares, car repairs, hospital services, electricity, and restaurant meals saw especially sharp increases, while grocery prices rose about 5%. Rising energy costs are contributing to higher prices across transportation and food. Hotter-than-expected inflation has raised expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike, which could increase borrowing costs.
