根据美国劳工统计局（BLS）周三发布的新数据，9月份的通货膨胀率略有上升，而此前一个月通胀率一直保持稳定。
Inflation rose slightly in September after holding steady the month prior, new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed Wednesday.
上个月，消费者价格指数（CPI）上涨了0.6%，相比2025年9月而言，全年通胀率上升至3.7%。这一涨幅高于8月份的3.4%。
The consumer price index (CPI) increased 0.6 percent last month and was up 3.7 percent relative to September 2025. That marked an increase from August, when annual inflation sat at 3.4 percent.
克利夫兰联邦储备银行周二发布的预测显示，通胀率预计将在9月份上升0.5%，全年同比涨幅将略微升至3.6%。
The popular inflation metric was expected to rise by 0.5 percent in September and increase slightly to 3.6 percent year over year, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland’s “Nowcast” projected on Tuesday.
根据BLS的数据，9月份汽油价格上涨了9.1%，这占据了当月通胀涨幅的一半以上；整体能源价格上月上涨了5.2%，而8月份仅上涨了2.1%。
Gas prices, which rose 9.1 percent in September, accounted for more than half of the monthly increase in inflation, according to the BLS. Energy prices overall ticked up by 5.2 percent last month after rising by 2.1 percent in August.
由于伊朗战争的影响，能源成本持续居高不下；尽管特朗普总统试图降低柴油和汽油价格，但至今收效甚微。
Energy costs have remained elevated amid the Iran war, with President Trump’s efforts to lower diesel and gas prices not bearing fruit so far.
根据AAA的数据，截至周三上午，普通汽油的价格约为每加仑4.33美元，而在美国和以色列发动战争的前两天，这一价格仅为2.98美元。柴油的价格也上涨到了每加仑约6.30美元，相比去年同期上涨了约2.41美元。
A gallon of regular gas costs roughly $4.33 as of Wednesday morning, up from $2.98 two days before the U.S. and Israel launched the war, according to data from AAA. Diesel also costs about $6.30 per gallon, an increase of roughly $2.41 relative to a year ago, AAA reported.
这些数据是在联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）决定是否再次加息的两周前发布的。上个月，FOMC将利率上调了0.25个百分点，以将通胀率降至2%的目标水平。
The data from the BLS comes in two weeks before the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decides whether to raise interest rates again. The FOMC last month hiked rates by a quarter point to bring inflation down towards its 2 percent target.
自那次加息决定以来，多位美联储官员表示可能会进一步加息——因为在FOMC的季度预测中，18位官员中有16位预计今年还会至少有一次加息。
Since that vote, multiple Fed officials have signaled additional rate hikes — after 16 of 18 FOMC officials predicted at least one more this year in the committee’s quarterly projections.
克利夫兰联邦储备银行行长、FOMC成员贝丝·哈马克（Beth Hammack）周一表示，持续的通胀可能需要采取更为严格的货币政策；她指出，通胀压力主要源于能源价格波动、特朗普实施的关税政策以及人工智能产业的发展。
Beth Hammack, the president of the Cleveland Fed and a member of the FOMC, said Monday that persistent inflation may “require a more restrictive policy,” noting price pressures stem from energy shocks, Trump’s tariffs and the artificial intelligence buildout.
“由于通胀压力的广泛存在，我的基本预测是：即使采取适当的货币政策，通胀也需要一段时间才能重新回到2%的水平，”哈马克在全国商业经济协会的年会上表示。
“Because of the breadth of inflationary pressures, my baseline forecast is that it will take some time for inflation to return to 2 percent, even with appropriate monetary policy,” Hammack said at the annual meeting of the National Association of Business Economics.
不过，美联储官员强调，在决定未来的货币政策之前，他们需要先评估即将公布的经济数据。
Fed officials have stressed, though, that they need to evaluate incoming economic data before deciding on future monetary policy.
美联储副主席菲利普·杰斐逊本月早些时候表示，官员们将“仔细研究数据趋势、经济前景的变化以及各种风险因素”。根据CME的FedWatch工具显示，交易者们预计美联储本月晚些时候将把利率维持在3.75%至4%的区间内的概率为78.4%。
Philip Jefferson, a vice chair of the Fed, said earlier this month officials will be “carefully examining trends in the data, the evolving outlook and the balance of risks.”Traders are pricing in a 78.4 percent chance of the central bank holding rates at a range of 3.75 percent to 4 percent later this month, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
自上次会议以来，联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）收到的另一项重要数据是最新发布的个人消费支出（PCE）价格指数——这是美联储用来衡量通胀的主要指标。
One other data point the FOMC received since its last meeting was the latest personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, its preferred measure of inflation.
根据PCE指数，年度通胀率从7月的3.7%下降到了8月的3.4%。美国经济分析局（Bureau of Economic Analysis）将于10月29日公布PCE数据，而这一天正好是FOMC决定是否再次加息的日子。
Annual inflation, as measured by the PCE, fell from 3.7 percent in July to 3.4 percent in August. The Bureau of Economic Analysis will release PCE data on Oct. 29, a day after the FOMC decides whether to hike rates again.
