Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers increased 0.3 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis, following a 0.4 percent rise in August. Over the past 12 months, the overall CPI rose 3.0 percent before seasonal adjustment. The increase in September was largely driven by energy prices, which rose 1.5 percent, with gasoline up 4.1 percent, making it the biggest contributor to the monthly gain. Food prices rose 0.2 percent, with food at home increasing 0.3 percent and food away from home up 0.1 percent. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.2 percent in September after 0.3 percent gains in each of the previous two months. Increases were seen in shelter, airline fares, recreation, household furnishings, and apparel, while motor vehicle insurance, used cars and trucks, and communication decreased.



Over the past year, the all items index rose 3.0 percent, up slightly from 2.9 percent in August, with the core CPI also up 3.0 percent, energy up 2.8 percent, and food up 3.1 percent. Overall, inflation continued at a moderate pace, with gasoline prices driving much of the recent monthly increase.
