Rising gasoline and diesel prices drove much of the increase. Higher airfares and used-car prices added pressure, pushing monthly inflation to 0.6%, the biggest gain since May. Even excluding food and energy, the picture deteriorated. Core inflation rose to 2.6%, up from 2.4% in August and above expectations. The squeeze on households is clear: prices rose 3.7% over the past year, outpacing average wage growth of 3%.
