According to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) released by the U.S. Labor Department, inflation in April rose to 3.8%, its highest level since May 2023, driven primarily by soaring energy and food prices due to the impact of the ongoing U.S.-Israel and Iran conflict and subsequent oil supply disruptions, raising concerns over potential interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve amid a politically charged environment ahead of the 2024 presidential elections. #Inflation #EconomicImpact #ConsumerPrices #US #IL #IR
