Holger Zschaepitz(@Schuldensuehner):OUCH! US inflation jumped to 3.8% in April, up from 3.3% in Mar and above Wall St’s 3.7% forecast. That is the highest level in 3yrs. The main driver was a surge in petrol prices after President Trump’s war in Iran pushed up oil prices, adding fresh pressure to America’s cost-of-living crisis. But the most worrying detail was shelter inflation: housing costs rose 3.3% YoY, showing that underlying price pressures remain sticky. Core CPI was +2.8%, up from +2.6% in Mar and above Wall St’s +2.7% forecast.
