Schriftgröße

L'inflazione accelera negli Stati Uniti. I prezzi al consumo in maggio sono saliti del 4,2%, in linea con le attese e rispetto al +3,8% di aprile. Su base mensile l'aumento è stato dello 0,5%.

L'indice core, al netto di energia ed alimentari, ha segnato un +2,9% tendenziale e un +0,2% mensile.

L'inflazione negli Stati Uniti è balzata in maggio ai massimi degli ultimi tre anni complice il caro-prezzi innescato dalla guerra in Iran.

L'aumento del 4,2% è infatti il maggiore dall'inizio del 2023.
