Consumer prices rose more than expected in September

The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report shows prices rose 0.2% in September, which was more than the 0.1% Bloomberg consensus estimate. Year over year, prices rose 2.4% versus the 2.3% estimate. When stripping out the more volatile food and energy components, prices rose 0.3% month over month and 3.3% year over year, both higher than economists were expecting.
