Consumer prices rise 0.2 percent in September

(Oct. 30, 2013) -- "The year-over-year rate of growth in the overall CPI continued to be pushed lower by gasoline prices, which have declined on an annual basis in six of nine months this year to date. Even excluding the energy component, however, there is little evidence of price pressure in the system with the annual pace of core price growth holding below 2 percent for a seventh consecutive month in September," said Janzen.
