US consumer prices likely rose 0.6% in Sept, driven by energy costs, signaling rising inflation pressure.

The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September is expected to increase by 0.6% month-over-month and 3.6% year-over-year, indicating accelerating inflation moving further from the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Core inflation, excluding food and energy, is forecast to rise 0.2% monthly and 2.5% annually. Rising oil prices, influenced by geopolitical tensions and increased Brent crude prices, could push headline inflation even higher. This inflation pressure complicates the Federal Reserve's efforts to control price growth and suggests potential interest rate hikes in December. The CPI report is also significant ahead of the November midterm elections, reflecting economic concerns among voters.

The latest inflation data showing accelerating price increases provides context for energy sector movements. For readers following the energy sector, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Oct 14, 2026 01:02 WIB: Of 62 priced energy-sector US stocks tradable on Pluang, 51 rose and 11 fell today. Notable movers include VLO (Valero Energy Corporation) at USD 454.48 with a 1-day change of +4.24%, PR (Permian Resources Corporation Class A Common Stock) at USD 24.30 with +3.85%, and PSX (Phillips 66) at USD 290.98 with +3.38%.
