The latest US Consumer Price Index report shows inflation rose to 3.7 percent. This rate came in higher than expected, driven mainly by rising energy costs. Because inflation is hotter than predicted, the Federal Reserve might keep interest rates high or raise them further. In response, global markets saw changes. The US dollar grew stronger, while stock markets and crypto prices dropped. Higher prices for daily goods continue to put extra pressure on household budgets everywhere.
