US petrol prices are down, but elevated inflation continues
US petrol prices fell below $4 per gallon for the first time since July on November 10. Yet consumer prices increased by 0.4% in October, showing that lower fuel costs have not reversed broader inflationary pressure from food and housing. The figures demonstrate how the Iran war continues to affect the US economy even as immediate concerns about energy prices ease, with implications for monetary policy and the wider global economy.
