US inflation accelerated to 3.8% annually in April, the fastest pace in nearly three years, driven by rising costs in housing, food, and services beyond just energy prices. Shelter costs rose 0.6% in April, with lodging and insurance also increasing significantly. Food prices surged, notably ground beef, tomatoes, and coffee, while services like video rentals and delivery also saw notable price hikes. Some relief came from stable used car prices and cheaper smartphones. This broad inflation pressure affects consumer budgets widely, despite energy costs being a key factor linked to the Middle East conflict.
